Runtime error on Install

[ampharoah]

Hello

I have just moved to P3D from FSX on a new PC and am re-installing all my airport scenery.

I have followed the procedure for reactivating the licences on this PC and that seemed to go well.

I have re-downloaded the scenery from the FSDT website to ensure that I have the latest versions.

P3D is installed on my C: drive in a folder c:Prepar3D v3 as recommended by Lockheed Martin

The install location will therefore be C: Prepar3D v3 > fsdreamteam

When I try to run the installers, P3Dvs is highlighted in the splash screen and I browse to the C:Prepar3D v3 folder.

When the installer reaches the end it hangs and I get the following message:

Runtime error (at 150:2488):
Error on line 81, position2: Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document.

Followed by:

List Index out of bounds

Could anyone please advise?

Thanks in anticipation

Andrew

The problem is caused by one of your XML files which was already corrupted before installing the sceneries, as explained here:

Only EXE.DML and DLL.XML from both file locations.

The DLL.XML file from %APPDATA% is corrupted: it contains <SimBase.Document></SimBase.Document> tag in the middle of it, when it should be at the end.

Opening the file with a text editor, and moving Line 80 to the end of the file, should fix it.

Thanks Umberto,

That's my problem fixed. Your support is much appreciated.
