FSX Startup crash

[bkircher]

I do have the latest version of the addon manager. Sorry I fogot to mention that.

When I load fsx, I get two errors, one for the addon manager and the other for Fsuipc. Before I had all of these error messages, Fsuipc worked just fine, so when I got all of the error messages I reinstalled both and for the addon manager I did what you said to do which is remove those 4 files, then reinstall. After all of that I still get the error messages

I have the ord scenery v1.1
Greystone
and Cloud9 mco 1.1.

Once I installed mco and ord the addon manager worked just fine, but everything went wrong when I installed the Greystone scenery.


I will try what you said to do and report back.

You are probably not using the latest version of the Addon Manager, please download the latest one that can be found in the Stand-Alone installer, that one that always downloads the latest version of the dll from the internet, and try again.

Where do I download the latest version?? I downloaded the ones that were in this topic, but idk if that is the latest version or not.

[virtuali]

Please, read carefully what I've wrote: the latest version of the Addon Manager has an installer that automatically downloads the latest version of the dll from the internet as soon at it starts.

So, you need to download the latest Addon Manager Standalone installer, that can be found under the O'Hare page (there's a link on the left to download the Stand Alone Addon Manager installer).

Just run the installer, check that is downloading some files from the internet as soon as it starts, then you are sure you have the latest version.

No more errors for the addon manager. Now just for fsuipc. What should I do? reinstall fsuipc? I have the latest one which 4.30

[virtuali]

No idea. We don't use FSUIPC for our sceneries, and shouldn't be affect by it anyway.

[bkircher]

Odd, because it worked perfectly before I started installing scenerys that used tha addon manager.

[virtuali]

I guess most of the users have FSUIPC installed, yet nobody reported problems before. As I've said, we don't use or call FSUIPC in any way.

[bkircher]

So no further suggestions? I need fsuipc for my ai separation to work.

[virtuali]

You might try changing the order of execution, by rearranging the addon sections in the DLL.XML file. If FSUIPC is loaded before Addon Manager, try loading it after, or vice versa.

Other than that, if what you are seeing is an FSUIPC error, why not reporting it to Pete Dowson's forum ?

[bkircher]

I got it working. It was a problem with the newest version of the program. I went back to 4.28 and everthing is just fine.

Hey VirtualI, this only happens to me when I install KORD.  I've just reinstalled because I wanted to see if I could use your fantastic Zurich and it works perfectly.  Installed KORD and it went good bye.  Any thoughts?

First,

First, have you tried installing the Stand-Alone Addon Manager ? This is always the very latest version, without the need to download the whole Zurich or O'Hare installers again.

Also, the previous poster said the startup problem was caused by FSUIPC and was solved by going to the previous version. Maybe there is a problem with the latest FSUIPC version, could you please set it to <Disabled>True</Disabled> in the DLL.XML and see if it works now ?

The same might be worth trying with every other addon module. By disabling each one (one by one, launching FSX each time), one can easily identify possible conflicts.

[Razgriz]

Its not FSUIPC, and I always install the stand alone manager by itself.  I will try disabling DBS WAF, I think that may be the issue.

[virtuali]

I've used the FSUIPC example, just because *another* user said that he solved the issue with a different version so, you might have had the same problem.

However, after your message, I've tried myself installing the latest FSUIPC, and I confirm there are no issues if used together with our Addon Manager, so it must be something else in your case.
