Server missing Addon Manager list

[c09RKC]

>>Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.<<

Wait a minute. 2015 wouldn't install but 2013 does? 2017 (the latest) is newer than 2013. Illogical.

It seems you don't need the VS 2015, because you already installed the latest version, which supports 2015, 2017 and 2019 runtimes with a single installer. So, it looks like the problem with your server is not related to the missing 2015 runtimes.

Is both the Addon Manager and the GSX menu missing from the Addons menu, or just one of them ?

[c09RKC]

Both.

[virtuali]

Both.

Then it's a VC++ redistributables installation problem, that's for sure. Try to do this:

- uninstall the 2015 and 2017 versions.

- restart Windows

- reinstall the latest version again.

Thank you sir - I have a 2013. We talked about not having a 2015:

>>It seems you don't need the VS 2015, because you already installed the latest version<<

I have (2) 2017s:

...Redistributable (x64)
...Redistributable (x86)

Uninstall-reinstall both, or just one of the two?

I found at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads the (2) .exe  replacement files. NOTE: "Note Visual C++ 2015, 2017 and 2019 all share the same redistributable files.".

Also: "The following updates are the latest supported Visual C++ redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. Included is a baseline version of the Universal C Runtime see MSDN for details.".

...I guess the (2) new install files will be 2019. Is this ok?

If so I need to know whether to uninstall/reinstall one or both of (x86) / (x64).

Finally, should I DL & install ARM64 as well or just the other two?

This is all a foreign language to me, far deeper than I thought the solution would be (grin). TKX!

Uninstall all the versions that looks like 2015 or 2017, restart Windows and reinstall the new unified one. Install everything, but NOT the ARM version.

[c09RKC]

>>...reinstall the new unified one.<<

One? On that web-site I'm seeing (2) 2017s... (x64) & (x86). Plz clarify so I don't ball things up.

Not ARM, understood.

Tkx much!

Good morning!

I uninstalled both 2017s, rebooted, then installed the new 2019 (x64) & (x86). The Add-Remove now shows ++2015-2019 Redist (x64) & (x86).

BTW, I've still got ++2005, 2010, 2012 & 2013 in addition to 2015-2019.

No change in P3D, the items aren't in Add-ons. I tried uninstalling GSX & reinstalled v2, reboot, the items still aren't in the list. Maybe I should've installed v1, then v2. I didn't do that.

I don't know what else to try. Shame really, there's other projects I've got that won't work unless I've got GSX working properly.

It may be worth mentioning what IS in the P3Dv4.5 Add-ons list:

WideView
WideTraffic
SODE 1.6.4
FSUIPC
utLive
EZdok

Try to uninstall GSX, reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?", then reinstall it again, and be sure you use only the current installer on our site, don't mix with older downloads.

[c09RKC]

I uninstalled and YES to remove the Addon-Manager. I then ran installers GSX and "Run", then GSX Level 2 and "Run" right off the site. I noticed the process quickly reinstalled the ..."(x86)Addon-Manager\Couatl\GSX...".

No change, GSX Couatl etc's not available under Addons.

Could be you un-trusted us from running on that system ? To fix this, open the Windows Control Panel, select "Internet Options", select the "Content" tab, click the "Publishers" button, go to the "Untrusted Publishers", and remove VIRTUALI from there.

[c09RKC]

I see you in the Trusted tab - you're not in Untrusted.

Might UTL have anything to do with all this? I saw in a linked post, someone mentioned UTL.

Remember those Client cmptrs we stopped talking about, all with GSX installed? I have to ask myself, what's the different between the GSX machine (where it's not working), and the Client machine (where it is working).

I don't know. I created things to where they'd be identical to every extent possible.

Missing/corrupted VC++ libraries, most likely.
