dll.xml changes by itself?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am using FSUIPC 4.853 and am flying using the VRS TacPack open beta. These are the only two entries I have in my dll.xml file:

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>VRS_TacPack</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Path>Modules\VRS_TacPack\VRS_TacPack.dll</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

Upon closing FSX I get a stack_hash error if FSUIPC is loaded first. This does not interfere with my flight sim enjoyment but I just don't want the error. So I found that by putting the TacPack entry first, the error goes away. But after flight, FSUIPC is again first in the list and I get the stack_hash again.

Question: Is there some reason FSUIPC needs to be first to load and is it changing the file automatically? If not, any idea what is changing it? Is FSX doing it? (okay, that's three questions...)

BTW, VRS has it on their list of things to fix eventually, it appears that Tac_Pack does not quite clean up after itself and causes this stack-hash on some PCs. It's not a bug per se, but it bugs me.

Thanks in advance.

As Paul says, it must be TacPack doing it. FSUIPC itself doesn't touchit at all -- only its Installer amends the DLL.XML file, and that always puts FSUIPC4 last.

Try making the DLL.XML read-only. That may work, or it may just make the failure change its reported cause. If you do this and it works, remember to temporarily change it back when installing other add-ons which may want to update it.

Regards

Pete
