I waited for the v493 release and I installed it, but now P3D wont start

 

 

What happens? Have you any crash data, eg, from the Windows event viewer? Is an FSUIPC4.LOG file produced in the Modules folder? Is so please show it to me.

 

I notice some oddities on your system but not ones which would affect this:

 

Looking in registry for FSX install path:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0

     Parameter"SetupPath"

... >>>  OK! FOUND FSX!  <<<

 

 .....SetupPath="C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\"

Checking version of the FSX EXE:

Couldn't obtain Version Info! Asking user to find FSX.EXE ...

User aborted attempt to find FSX. Installation failed.

 

 

 

You appear to have removed FSX without properly uninstalling it. Not only that but its install path is pointing to Prepar3D!!!

You should really remove the remnants now in the Registry. i.e. the section 

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0

 

Further, you have installation entries for both Prepar3D v1 and v2 both pointing to the same place! You do really need to do complete uninstalls if you are going to keep installing in one folder. You should remove this section too:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D

 

However, despite all these oddities your P3D should start okay. I really need more data on that.

I notice you have a later release of P3D 2.2 that I:

 

... Version 2.2.10438.0  (Need at least 1.0.677.0)
!! WARNING !! This version of Prepar3D is later than any known by this FSUIPC4.
   There may be problems. Please check for a later version of FSUIPC4!

 
Mine is build 10437. Strange. I downloaded mine on moday! If they've updated it aghain I may have a lot more work to do....:-(

Thanks for the support Pete and getting into the detail with those regsitry items I appreciate it

 

Ok, so your points:

 

1. LM compiled a new build to deal with a regression bug that crept into v2.2 which caused CTDs with the flight planner. LM released it as a hotfix with just the binaries and advised users to manually install the new binaries. Heres their forum post about it:

 

http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=6453

 

2. I was forced into a hard delete of FSX due to problems with the FSX uninstall utility. I had some trouble finding the path in the registry for it but after searching I eventually found it under WOW64:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\flight simulator\10.0

 

Thanks for that I deleted those keys

 

3. I deleted the old P3D v1.xx keys thanks again for that, also eventually found those under the WOW64 entries in the registry. Strange, with 1.xx I did uninstall it using LM's program and it gave no error on completion. Maybe they see it as cruft that doesnt matter? Anyway its gone now.

 

4. Heres the log output from FSUIPC4.log when P3D crashes

 

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.93 by Pete Dowson *********
Reading options from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini"
Running inside Prepar3D v2 on Windows 8
Module base=54E50000

I searched through the event viewer but there is no captured errors relating to P3D in any of the logs, not even info level entries. Or am I looking in the wrong logs is it obscure somewhere for application level P3D event messages?

 

The crash behaviour is the user tries to enter runtime, the p3d splash graphic appears, then it crashes without further dialogue windows or apparent problems - just a usual CTD.

 

As an aside Im running windows 8.1 not 8 like the log entry states

 

5. Unfortunately I tried again to run P3D post the registry key changes and P3D still CTDs like before, like you advised me.

 

EDIT: Include detail of registry changes not resolving the CTD

Hi again Pete, I just grabbed your new build 4.931 thanks for the fast turn around

 

FSUIPC is loading in P3D ok now, it operates

 

I did get some warnings during install despite doing the registry cleans that were suggested. One about registry with P3D and the other about not editing the xml file. I've attached logs below, its late night here I'll need to try to make sense of it with a clear head after sleep. The install seems to think p3d 1.xxx is installed but its absolutely not installed. 1.xxx and 2.xxx use different sub directories anyway.

As an aside Im running windows 8.1 not 8 like the log entry states

 

FSUIPC treats them the same. 8.1 is merely an increment over 8.0, like the SP's on the Win XP, Vista and Win7 version(s).

 

I did get some warnings during install despite doing the registry cleans that were suggested. One about registry with P3D and the other about not editing the xml file. I've attached logs below, its late night here I'll need to try to make sense of it with a clear head after sleep. The install seems to think p3d 1.xxx is installed but its absolutely not installed. 1.xxx and 2.xxx use different sub directories anyway.

 

 

he warnings don't really matter in the end, but they are definitely occurring because there are entries in the Registry pointing to a non-existent P3D v1. It is looking it here:

 

SetupPath="C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\"

 

because of the Registry entry at:

 

     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Prepar3D

     Parameter"AppPath"

... >>>  OK! FOUND Prepar3D!  <<< ...
