Active but not installed in the Scenery Library

(1/2) > >>

I just purchased KIAH along with Zurich and Geneva.  I installed them all, and when I go into Addon Manager, it tells me they are "Active but not installed in the Scenery Library."

What did I do incorrectly?  I can just add them manually, but I'm concerned something did not happen correctly.   Thanks.

Have you noticed any errors in the installation ? If your scenery.cfg has an error, the installation won't complete and it would give you a warning, and of course the scenery won't appear in the Scenery Library.

Another possible cause of error, is that you use some kind of external utility to process your scenery.cfg, so this one is locking the file for any changes, preventing the install to do its job.

Other possible reason, you are running FSX in Compatibility mode, and this shouldn't be done, because it screws up with all settings file locations, confusing all installers.

I didn't notice any errors. Is there a log for the installation?

I do use a tool (Scenery ConFig Editor) to edit the scenery.cfg, but it was not open during install, and it's never caused an issue with any other add on.

How do I solve this?

Not by default, but if there was an error, it would have been indicated with an message box.

Then it's possible that tool has corrupted your scenery.cfg, so it's creating the issue even after you closed it. Not possible to say for sure, unless you send me you scenery.cfg by email or PM, or Attach it on your post. Don't attach the scenery.cfg file directly, but ZIP and Attach the zip file to a message. The scenery.cfg is located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX

No errors.  The cfg is not corrupted that I know of, but I can attach it later this afternoon when I'm home.
