OHareX files get downloaded during V2 install
« on: August 22, 2019, 05:35:39 pm »
So, as required, I uninstalled OHareX before installing V2.

However, during the V2 install, the installer calls the Live Update tool, and Live Update downloads all the OHareX files that were just removed by the uninstall!

Now, strictly speaking, this doesn't cause an issue, since there is no longer an OHareX add-on.xml in Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons.

But, why does Live Update do this? I don't want the files sitting on my disk using space when OHareX isn't even being used.

Thanks,

- Bill

It's likely a problem of an old OHareX uninstaller which was update through Live Update (the uninstaller is created when originally installing).

Remove the following folders manually:

Addon Manager\Fsdreamteam\OHareX
Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_OHareX
Addon Manager\couatl\OHareX

This should prevent any further downloads.

Thanks Umberto, that seems to have resolved the issue.

FYI, I found in Simobjects\FSDT_OHareX directory under "Misc":

Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_OHareX
