Run IvAp v2 at Prepar3d v4 start with FSUIPC5

[Jose Vela]

Hi

I know this topic has been covered before but I've not been able to start IvAp v2 just including the RunIf sentence in the FSUIPC.ini file.

This is the path that I use in the desktop shortcut I use to manually open it:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IVAO\IvAp v2\ivap_dllhost.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\IVAO\IvAp v2\ivap_fsx.dll"

I will apreciate any advice as I have tried many combinations of "",

Thanks!

Jose

The problem is probably that only the part of the given parameter between the first pair of " are being used. Have you tried removing the " " pair in the middle of the string? That shouldn't be needed unless iVAp needs it.

The only other alternative would be to move the package to a path with no spaces. Installing things in "Program Files" is nearly always a bad idea for all sorts of reasons.

Hi Pete

No, removing the middle " " is also not working.

I will try moving IvAp to another folder.

Thanks again,

Jose

Hi,

I have reinstall IvAp to another folder but it is not working.

This is what I have put in FSUIPC5.ini: RunIf11=CLOSE,READY,AM=2,"C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_dllhost.exe C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_fsx.dll"

And this is what the direct access icon uses to launc it: C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_dllhost.exe "C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_fsx.dll"

What else can I try?

Thanks!

What happens? Is there any indication? Is there any log entry in the FSUIPC log file?

Try omitting the "", or just having them on the first part.

Hi,

This is the entry in the log file:

   196187 FSUIPC couldn't run: "C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_dllhost.exe C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_fsx.dll" [Error=267]

And if I remove the "" or it is just on the first part it is not working.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks,

Jose

Error 267:

ERROR_DIRECTORY
267 (0x10B)   The directory name is invalid.

 

Try:

 

1. No "" at all.

2. "" just aound first part

3. "" just arouund second part

4. Make second part just ivap_fsx.dll, no path. I wouldn't have thought the path was needed.

This did the job:

RunIf11=CLOSE,READY,AM=2,"C:\IvAp_v2\ivap_dllhost.exe ivap_fsx.dll"

Thanks Pete.

Best regards,

Jose
