Any suggestions concerning the FSChecker?

Quote from: rsgunner on September 26, 2014, 02:30:34 pm
The AppPath for P3D is E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\

The above is a copy and paste from the registry. Read from HKEY_CURRENT_USER. My OS is Win 8.1.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE P3D entry SetUpPath is E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\

Is this correct that there are two P3D keys in your registry?

The AppPath for HKEY_CURRENT_USER root and the SetupPath for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root? And both pointing to the same location?

That's very strange, because the AppPath was used for P3D v1, then they changed the key to SetupPath for v2.

Could you show me a screenshot of the FSchecker's output (of the last version 2)?

Is this helpful?

The following are the default installation directories for Prepar3D and the location of their registry key entries:
32 Bit Operating Systems:
  • Install Location: C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\
  • Registry Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
64 Bit Operating Systems:
  • Install Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\
  • Registry Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

Prepar3D Registry Key Information

Prepar3D's registry key information depends on whether or not you are running a x64 bit or x32 bit Windows machine.

Registry information for computers using a 32-bit architecture is here:

>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D

For computers using a 64-bit architecture the registry key information for the 32 bit Prepar3D application is here:

>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D

Note that v1 is within "LockheedMartin" (no space), whereas v2 is in "Lockheed Martin" (with space).

Yeah, I know that. The FSchecker v2 tries to find first P3D v2 64 bit, then (if not found) tries 32 bit, then (if not found) P3D v1 64 bit and finally 32 bit...

But what puzzled me most of all was the AppPath parameter found in the E:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\ key. Kinda mix of P3D v1 and v2...  :o

Oh, my...  :o
Russ, can you provide a couple of screenshots, just like thetford569 did?
What I'd like to see is part of your registry with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_LOCAL_USER roots, both containing ALL P3D and (possibly) FSX keys.
Thanks!

PS. Looks like W8 is something different than W7 or XP in regard to FS...

Thanks Russ
Honestly, I expected anything but not AppPath and SetupPath present in the same P3D key...  ::)

Please, show me AppPath and SetupPath values (both in HKLM and HKCU roots).

PS. Oh yes, LM are the best with their 'riddle me that' game...

I am not sure what values you are referring to.

Sorry, didn't see the right part of the attached pictures (notebook screen limits).
Now I can see, both AppPath and SetupPath point to the same location.

Will modify FSchecker appropriately. Stay tuned ;)

UNBELIEVABLE!!!...

My only (and the last) guess now is that this W8 registry is CASE sensitive. No other explanations to this weird behaviour...
Shoud we try this way?

Give it a try.

I hope this doesn't require a lot of work on your part.
