Install dll xml error
« on: March 16, 2008, 12:17:07 am »


 Hi,
      On attempting to install O'hare (Fsx) on vista 32 I get an error stating"Dll xml error on line 26 position 2, whitespace is not allowed at this location, your dll file has not been modified" This also occured on trying to install the stand alone addon mgr.my c++ is current, I also have acceleration pak installed.
                                                                Thanks
                                                                 Ron

The installer launch a standard Windows API call to validate your original DLL.XML file before changing it. If that file, for any reason (usually a previous manual edit) is not 100% syntactically correct, the installer will not touch it, and will issue such warning. FSX will never complain about syntax errors in DLL.XML, it will simply not execute the module in the section with the error, so it might easily go unnoticed.

You will probably get a similar error if you opened that file with IE. It might be simply easier if you post your DLL.XML file here, so I can tell you were the error is. The file can be located at:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX

just execute the above command from the Start Menu

Strange, I've ran the installer on your XML, and didn't see any warning, and it added the Addon Manager lines without any problems.

Here's the correct file, anyway.
