Rexbo47 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hello, I just purchased KBZN and proceeded to install at the end of the installation, I got a pop-up that reads: "Your DLL.xml file appears to be corrupt. ModuleInstaller cannot add the module to a corrupt XML file. Replace DLL.XML with a new file? Click YES to replace DLL.XML with an empty new file and continue. Note that any other modules you may haveinstalled will stop working. Click NO to abort the installation." I clicked "NO" since I don't want to kill any other modules I may have (whatever they are). I seem to remember something like this happening with another airport but I can't for the life of me remember the fix/workaround. I appreciate your assistance. What next? Thanks Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbavent Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Unfortunately, I answered Yes and the installer completely obliterated the dll.xml file - the only lines there when you opened up in an editor were for KBZN. Also knocked out FSXFlight which I cannot get to connect anymore. Real bummer... Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Did you check to see if there is a backup? There's always a backup copy where the original DLL.xml resides. It may not be updated but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbavent Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The installer did not create a backup. I was able to restore everyting and get FSXFlight to work again usng an older fsx.dll backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Any assistance with MY question? Read this http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a92/dllxml-information-and-troubleshooting.aspx What I commonly do is a backup copy of FSX.cfg, EXE.xml, DLL.xml and Scenery.cfg. I install an add-on, see if it's working and redo the backup. So usually I have, for example, a DLL.xml and DLL.bkp. If something goes wrong I can restore the last working file. Since I had the same problem as you I found the solution reading the information in the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem Rexbo47. I aborted my first KBZN install when I got the two decompression errors for fx_Orbx_YBUD_Beacon_Gr.fx and fx_Orbx_YBUD_Beacon_Wh.fx. I clicked ignore on the second install attempt and got the same corrupt dll.xml error you have. Nobody has replied to my 19 Sep post though. Glad someone answered yours.

It seems something didn't work with the installer, leading to an incomplete ("corrupt") file. I went into my DLL.XML using info from the site TheMan_RJ linked and discovered that there was text missing directing FSX to load the "Flow" data for KBZN. I recreated it following the text protocol of PAJN and others. It seems to be working fine at this point. It's disturbing that none of the ORBX gurus are addressing this. I'm accustomed to a higher level of support. from them. Good luck fixing yours.
