FS9 install error

<< < (2/3) > >>

Then I'm sorry, if you don't have the Esellerateengine file in the C:\Windows folder, the only explanation left, is that you antivirus is still interferring, blocking the update of the file with the most current version and, if you get a mix-match between old and new files, FS9 will quit to desktop when launched.

Double check the antivirus again: it wouldn't be the first time we heard of antivirus products so invasive and so bugged, they keep blocking files, even if you explicitly allow them, and without warning.

I have new information on this problem. I installed Cloud9 Amsterdam and FS9 came up with the addon module showing. By installing KDFW and then coping the files installed by Cloud9 FS9 worked whe I removed the BGLMA_SKYMAKERS file from the modules folder FS9 worked but when I selected Fsdreamteam all that was listed was Zurichx whitch I didn't have nstalled. If I could get KDFW to appear I could register it. Seems to be a problem with the files loaded into the modules folder from KDFW because it works with the files from the Cloud9 install minus the above file.

Sorry, but that's not the case.

The files loaded with KDFW don't have any problem but, if your antivirus is mistakenly blocking the updated .DLL, the old .DLL that came with the Cloud9 installer works only with the old set of .DAT files, that's why I'm saying it's likely the antivirus because, the files that comes with KDFW are the most updated version, they WORK, provided all of them gets installed. The antivirus can't block the .DAT file, but if it blocks the .DLL, you end up with mix-matched files from old and new version together, and THAT will cause FS9 to quite.

Well I have removed my antivirus program and disabled all firewall programs and reinstalled FS9 after removing all files and still FS9 aborts with a vanilla FS9 after installing the patch. If I remove all the files from the modules folder after installing Chicago ohare FS9 works. If I could get the scenery registered and working without using the addon manager it would be ok. I just don't understand why it works on my old machine with xp and nt on this machine with vista 64.
I sure wish I could get this working so I can add your other scenery.

virtuali:
I can only confirm that, if FS9 quits without warning, the only possible reason is that you a mix-match between older and newer Addon Manager files, which can only be caused by the antivirus blocking some files and let pass others, creating a mismatch between versions.

I'm sorry, but the one and only solution is the first suggested:

 Turn the Antivirus OFF

- Uninstall KDFW. Reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager?"

- Reinstall KDFW. Don't launch FS9 yet

- Configure your antivirus to ignore the MODULES\bglman.dll file in the FS9 folder. Or the whole MODULES folder. Yes, this is important.

- Turn the Antivirus back ON, then launch FS9.

Do this, only this, don't skip any steps, don't do anything extra, don't touch files manually, the installer works and knows what to do. And, don't use old installers, if you are not sure, download them again.

If you have to install any Cloud9 stuff, do it first, and THEN install the current Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FS9, as explained on the Cloud9 page.
