No XML.DLL file in AppData Folder

[ryanmlt1]

So my manifold gauges doesn't work, starter switch doesn't work, switch sounds etc. Reading its most likely due to not having this .dll file. How to I get it? Also ran xmltools installer and nothing happens.

Hey Colin, done and done. XML.Dll cannot be found even after running xml tools installer in the beaver folder....

I found this dll xml file under ProgramData/LockheedMartin but Im not sure its the right one. XMLTools will not run and does not show up in the main P3D folder.

So the installer ran, but the xml doesn't show up?
Do you have the necessary distributables installed?

Please make sure you have the XMLtools for the sim version you are running enabled during install .

XMLTools.dll will be in the main fs or p3d folder and there should be an entry in DLL.xml found in \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

It should read as follows:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

If not, run the XMLtools installer inside the DH2C aircraft folder for the sim in question (xmltools_201 installer.exe is for FSX).

Go to your user's AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{version number} or AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ folder and check whether DLL.XML is present or not.

If it is not, and you have other users defined in your machine, go to each one's AppData\Roaming folder and check that DLL.XML is present in either Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v, or Microsoft\FSX\ (depending on platform).

How do I enable the XML tools which one is for P3D V4? XML.dll is in neither spot and I dont have XMLtools in the main P3D Folder. Running it from the Beaver folder does nothing.

Did you update this product recently?

Im an idiot, I had to download the right C++Redistributables. Finally got the install to add XMtools.
