Zürich X - REINSTALLATION
« on: July 21, 2008, 12:28:46 pm »
After some big problems with Wilco-products-installations after ZürichX
under Vista Business 64 bit, my PMDG747X failed also.
I was not able to find any addons in my menue.
I had the same DLL-error as described from all other users.
I tried also to reinstall the addon manager seperately, but no success.
Then, I tried to install the unregistered FSUIPC-version to have my first
new addon in my menue line, and I don´t know if I had only luck,
ZurichX and PMDGX worked again without any problems after the new
installation.
This is only a little help for all the others, but I don´t know if this is
the real solution !!??
Kind regards.....Markus

This doesn't have anything to do with any of our products, and it a known issue of Wilco product, that is very well known and is also listed on the PMDG Wiki: the Wilco installer corrupts the DLL.XML file:

Well, to be precise, it doesn't really corrupts it, because FSX is still able to read it, but it makes any other 3rd party installer stop working, because they can no longer modify the DLL.XML file, since after having run the Wilco installer, the file is no longer a standard dos/windows text file, creating problems to other installer.

Our installer tries to fix it, and usually succed it, but this might depends on the order of installation of addons too.
