Title: Bglmanx.dll problem reported by FSX **SOLVED**
Post by: GSalden on November 06, 2007, 10:58:03 pm
Hi team,

Because I was interested I downloaded the FSX version and after the installation I tried to run FSX.

I got the folllowing error message :

Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third-party software program (addon)
Name : Bglmanx Dynamic Link Library
Version : 2,4,0,1

Then FSX advices not to load the file.

Because I also own XCity Rome I have the latest Addonmanager.
Perhaps that has something to do with it.

I have Vista Ultimate with FSX SP2.

After trying several options I was able to stop this error meassage by :

Uninstalling the dll and dat file manually an then reinstall Zurich and after that reinstall XCity Rome.

I'm afraid I have exactly the same problem with the demo version of Zurich. I have tried to solve it by using the procedure described above, but to no avail. If I reply yes to the question if I want to load Bglman, FSX CTDs. For your info I hae the FSX Accelarator installed.

Dan

This is usually due to a mismatch between versions, perhaps having installed old versions of something.

To be sure you have the latest versions for FSX, do the following:

delete from FSX root:

bglmanx.dll
bglmanx.dat
bglmanx_fsdt.dat

Reinstall Zurich 1.2. There's no need to install Cloud9's version of Addon Manager: in Zurich 1.2 we are installing their updated programs database as well, and the dll it's the same anyway.

I don't know what to say. I confirm that works perfectly under Vista. Version shouldn't mattter, and it works even with DEP and UAC enabled. However, have you tried turning those off ?

UAC:
http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

DEP:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1261/vista_disable_dep_noexecute_protection_fix_explorer_crashing

If still doesn't work, it *might* be another module in conflict. We known about issues with FSCopilot.dll, that sometimes are solved by changing the loading order of modules in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\DLL.XML, even if you don't have it, there might be a similar issue with another module we don't know of.

Post by: theras on November 24, 2007, 03:10:46 pm
A bit of good news eventhough I really can't explain what happened. I followed your sugestion and closed the DEP protection. Then I started FSX again and got the same error message, but this time FSX did not CTD when I choose to load BGLMANX and I was able to see the Zurich scenary. I then restarted FSX and this time I got no error message. So something changed but I do not know what.

Dan

Ok... I WAS getting the bglmanx.dll unknown publisher error and not seeing any buildings for ORD (just started today)... soooo I went into the AV program and added it as an exception (I have AVG AV).... rebooted, and restarted FSX. Still got the error and no buildings at ORD. BUT, I was still seeing the ADDON Manager in the menu, but NOT coutl. Sooooooo.... I downloaded the stand alone Add on Manager and reinstalled it.... still no go... but NOW I can't even see the Add-On Manager in the menu OR coutl....

Sooooooo... I did as THIS thread suggested and deleted the files
bglmanx.dll
bglmanx.dat
bglmanx_fsdt.dat

Still no Add-on Manager or coutl in the in game menu....

HEEEEEELP... I'm sure I probably did SOMETHING wrong, but no idea how to fix it!!!



I am running WinXP Pro 64-bit... FSX w/SP2.

I have NOT added or deleted anything from FSX since FSTD DFW came out, and it was working fine till today.

Any ideas???

I guess I should have put this in the ORD thread... but then it doesn't matter I guess as I am having the same issue with all the FSDT airports. (I just got done checking to make sure)

Ok... I WAS getting the bglmanx.dll unknown publisher error

ALL our executable modules are digitally signed. This means, if you get the "unknown publisher" warning, it means your copy of the .dll has been altered on your system, and it's not the one we distributed. The digital signature is used just for this reason.

Some reasons why the .dll has been corrupted on your system, might be either a virus OR a mistake of your antivirus program that, on top of having mistakenly identified it as a virus, has also tried to "heal" it, corrupting it.

So, whenever you see the "unknown publisher" error, you can be 100% sure the .dll has been altered by something on your system.

That's fairly obvious: if you delete the files, but you don't reinstall them, how do you expect to see any menus, if you just removed them ?

The solutions it's always the same. Please follow all the steps, don't skip anything, and follow it to the letter:

After a reboot, check you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu and the "Couatl powered products" menu under the Addons menu. If you don't have them, it's most likely caused by the antivirus, in this case, do this:

- DOWNLOAD the CURRENT version of the Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX

- TURN OFF your antivirus. Don't just exit from its interface, but turn off the real time protection. Actual wording changes between products, however, it's the option to scan every file that gets open in real time, without user intervention.

- Install Stand-Alone Addon Manager with the Antivirus TURNED OFF. Don't launch FSX yet.

- Configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\couatl.exe

YourFSXFolder it's usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, if you installed it in the default folder.

- Now you can turn the antivirus back on, and launch FSX.

- Check you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu AND the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu.




If this fails, do this:

- Go into Control Panel and Uninstall the Stand-Alone Addon Manager

- Reply YES when asked if you want to remove the Addon Manager and the Couatl Engine. Reply YES to both questions.

- REBOOT Windows

- Turn the Antivirus OFF

- Install Stand-Alone Addon Manager with the Antivirus TURNED OFF.

- Try to launch FSX with the Antivirus OFF

Hello,

I upgraded my system to win7 64, and reinstalled FSX with all it's components including ALL airports of FSDT.

Unfortunately, I keep getting the same error message after following exactly all your instructions, including the antivirus. When launching FSX this message shows

Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third party software program
Name: bglmanx Dynamic Link Library
Version 2,8,0,3
Company: VIRTUALI
File: bglmanx.dll

I downloaded the latest version of the stand alone downloader, and as already mentioned followed exactly you instructions.
This program worked fine on my old XP machine.

Please advise,
A very loyal and frustrated user of FSDT  :'(

It just does not work . I did exactly as instructed one by one.

Then it means your system has a configuration problem, either a system library is missing, or you have another similar problem. Fact you don't have an antivirus installed, shouldn't discount the chance you might have a virus instead, which is corrupting executables, like our module.

Is your Windows fully patched with all the Service packs and all the latest updates ?

Try if the problem might be related to missing c++ runtimes, - Go in the Windows control panel, and Uninstall ALL the istances of the Visual Studio 2005 redistributable runtimes. You might have more than one version, remove them all.

- Then, after removing everything related to VS2005, reinstall again these 3 files:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en

Also, when you see the error, don't worry if FSX crashes, ALWAYS ALLOW to run the module.

- If it doesn't work, try again 2-3 times, ALWAYS ALLOW to run the module.

- If it doesn't work, try to do it again, after a Windows reboot.

Norton 360 Antivirus is now installed and all files scanned. No viruses found.

Try to download this file:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/download/setup/bglmanx/4053/bglmanx.dll

Put into the FSX main folder, overwriting the one that is already there, and see if it makes any difference.

Norton 360 Antivirus is now installed and all files scanned. No viruses found.

Sorry, but Norton it's probably the worse offender when interfering with legit programs and causing false positives and errors like that. Best to use the free, reliable, easy to use and not interfering MS Security Essentials.

If really you want to use Norton (not suggested, it's slows down the system a lot), be sure you ALWAYS to the following when installing:

- TURN OFF your antivirus. Don't just exit from its interface, but turn off the real time protection. Actual wording changes between products, however, it's the option to scan every file that gets open in real time, without user intervention.

- Install Stand-Alone Addon Manager with the Antivirus TURNED OFF. Don't launch FSX yet.

- Configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\couatl.exe

YourFSXFolder it's usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, if you installed it in the default folder.

- Now you can turn the antivirus back on, and launch FSX.

Check the following:

- You are not running FSX into "XP Compatibility mode" or any of the other compatibility modes in Windows 7. Right-click on the FSX.EXE, select "Properties", then select the "Compatibility" tab and be sure everything is turned off.

- Try to run FSX in Adminstrator mode

- Try turning off UAC:

Grrrr...what is it about this dll?  I have the issue now.  Followed the steps above.  No help.  I guess I may have to rebuild my system.  I'll have to think about whether I want this dll back on it again.  

EDIT:  I uninstalled it.  My FSDT and Flightbeam airports are broken but at least the rest of my system is working.

I  did all the steps according to the forum to solve the Problem. Unfortunately without result.
I use  FSX on Windows 7 Home Primium with service Pack 1, 64 Bit. 
I stopped Firewall and virus Program, cleaned the registry, changed the number in the registry according to the Forum, cleared and installed the Visual studio 2005 and installed the 3 Files according the Forum. 
I don't now what i can do more?

Hello, I have the same problem:
FSX on start-up reports detection of a problem with a third-party software program
When I run it (what is not recommended), it does go (sometimes) and everything is O.K., but when I'm restarting next time FSX it crashes and then this message appears again.
For the first days when I had Trial was everything O.K., then I bought key and register and it was O.K. too. After using GSX for some days the problem began.

Thanks for answer and help.
