resolved Error installing Orbx Libraries

[Jeffrey Kraus]

After installing the libraries I have had this error dialog appear at least twice. I have both Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator SE installed to the default locations on my C drive. I am running Windows 7.

Hello,

Are you offered a start menu when you open FTX Central, allowing a choice between FSX and FSX Steam Edition?

 

When you see that error message, what are you trying to do?

 

Please don't use the Tweak FS utility, it is not designed or intended to deal with this problem.

Instead, please try this topic.

At first FTX Central 3 showed both FSX and FSX SE. After applying TweakFS it showed only FSX SE. Then after changing the registry entry back to the original value using TweakFS and then setting both using FTX Registry Utility it shows both. But now when I run FTX Central 3 and select FSX it runs and when selecting FSX SE it crashes.

 

[2018-08-01_11-28-08-AM 3.2.5.9] - System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE\scenery.cfg'.
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

 

The file is instead located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX

ftxc3.log

Thanks.

It looks as if you don't have FSX-SE installed in compatibility mode, so it is also 

using the FSX cfg files.

This topic shows how to remove the compatibility mode, so you could use it to

restore it instead.

I set the key Co-Existence to 1, after starting Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition it created C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE and I can now open FTX Central 3 without an error. Thanks!

You are very welcome.

thanks for the feedback.
