Installer crashed FS9

[kenneth2300]

Hi guys

I really want to install the new LAX airport onto my system, but once I download the program, FS9 crashed. It shows the opening screen, and then it crashes...

Any help?

If FS9 quits to desktop, it means you have a problem of mis-matched versions of the Addon Manager, some files are old and some are new.

This might be caused by your antivirus mistakenly thinking the Addon Manager is a threat, so it blocked the download of the current version, it can be usually fixed this way:

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

- Turn the Antivirus OFF.

- Reinstall the scenery, don't launch FS9 yet.

- Configure your antivirus to exclude the following file from scanning:

\YourFS9Folder\MODULES\bglman.dll

- Turn the antivirus back ON, launch FS9.

It's possible you have another (older) copy of the Esellerate engine installed by another product that use it, check for the following file:

Esellerateengine.dll

In the following locations:

1) Your FS9 root folder

2) The main C:\Windows folder ( if this is your Windows folder )

3) The C:\ProgramData\Esellerate folder


If you have this .DLL in your FS9 root folder or your C:\Windows folder, REMOVE IT, because it's the wrong location for Vista/Windows 7 and, also, it's probably the wrong (old) version of the .DLL that has been put there by another product that uses the Esellerate engine DLL.

You should have one and only one copy of that .DLL and, on a Vista/Windows 7 system, it should be located at C:\ProgramData\Esellerate, which is where our installer puts it.

When you removed all the versions, reinstall the scenery again.
