DLL.XML file cannot be created

[martin_h]

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed this product a number of times and on all occasions i am receiving the error pictured in the attachment. when downloading and installing anti virus and UAC are deactivated.
I am using P3D V4.3 with quite a few add-ons. I can list if this is going to be of help.
Any suggestions on how i can resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Martin

Hi,

Please follow these steps to solve your issue:
-Do a Search in Windows for DLL.XML and, if more that one appears, take note on those that are present in Prepar3D v4 folders(s).
-Edit each one, and identify what is the current by spotting the name of your other addons.
-When you know which is the correct, just add, at the end (but before </SimBase.Document>):

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools64</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools64.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

Save the file, and that's it.
If you don't recognize your addons, or to be completely sure, add those lines to ALL of dll.xml files found (indeed belonging to P3D v4)

Thanks!
Tomas

Hi Tomas,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have more than likely done it wrong, but I have tried as suggested to no avail.
I've atatched a few screen grabs, can you tell me if they look correct. The highlighted are the files i've changed.

Regards

I've definitely done something wrong. Getting this error message when trying to launch active sky.

You did not add in the <Launch.Addon> at the beginning of the block:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools64</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools64.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>

Hi, This is now sorted. Thanks for the help.

You are most welcome. I wish all support questions were so easy to resolve...

In XML all <tags> have a matching closing </tags>. When either one is missing, the entire script will fail to load.
