addonmanagerX2901 doesn't work properly

Hi,

Prompted by the live update function, I downloaded the latest version of addonmanager 2901.
Then I encountered the wellknown usual issue, disappearing the buildings.
So I uninstalled the 2901 and reinstalled GSX (the very first version, I think--DLed on Feb.1 just after I got the e-mail--Japan standard time), while installing I got an error message saying "can't download AFD files" but somehow the installation completed, which solved the building issue but the XPOI setting menu disappeared from the couatl-powered products menu.

I'm wondering that the addonmanager2901 might have some kind of bug(s).

The Addon Manager doesn't have any bugs, if it's not running in your system, it's because your Windows installation is missing some needed system libraries, or they are installed, but corrupted. Most likely, they are the MS Visual C++ libraries, which the Stand-Alone Manager installs anyway (using the official MS installer), but if they are corrupted, it can't fix them.

The GSX installer contains a *slightly* different version of the Addon Manager that requires a *slightly* different version of the MS VC++ libraries, which apparently work on your system.

For some users it's the opposite, the version that comes with GSX doesn't work, but the one in the Addon Manager installer does, because they have a different problem in *their* system.

The download messages are not really a problem, the issue is that the main download server has been overloaded with too many access due to the GSX release, so the installer got its files from a mirror site. The message is harmless, is saying that the main server couldn't be reached, but it was completed on the mirror.

If you made a complete uninstall of the Addon Manager, that's to be expected (the uninstaller also warns about this), if you reinstall XPOI and then GSX again, everything should work.

Thank you for your quick (really quick) reply.
OK I understand what you said and that means I can't use 2901.
Does that also mean I will never be able to use the coming update(s) of addonmanager?
As for XPOI I'll try later.

And another question:
I found the Airplane_Boarding. wav. and the file sounds quite lively but where it's played?
I expected after requesting boarding I could hear that file, but I couldn't.

Thank you again

Some sounds can only be heard inside the cockpit, Boarding is one of them.

kozmicelly:
No need to reply to this, just wanted to inform you a good news.
The latest build of 2901 worked perfectly. :D

Thank you so much, Virtuali.
