FSUIPC5 / RunIf not recognizing running programs


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been using RunIf to start some programs in FSUIPC 4 and simply copied the [Programs] section over:

[Programs]
RunIf1=CLOSE,HIDE,"C:\Users\Olli\AppData\Local\vPilot\vPilot.exe -host -voice"
RunIf2="C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"
RunIf3=HIDE,"C:\Program Files (x86)\Landing Rate Monitor\LRM.exe"
RunIf4="C:\Program Files (x86)\Navigraph\Simlink\NavigraphSimlink.exe"

this worked well before, but in v5 those commands are executed on every start, no matter if the programs are running or not. TrackIR and NavigraphSimlink are not reacting to the CLOSE parameter (and I removed it), so they remain open and present me an angry "I'm already running!" message. 

Anything else I can do? I attatched my logfile in case it helps.

Oliver.

Hmm. That's strange. The code is no different. I wonder if it is something to do with 64-bit versus 32-bit programs -- though that would be rather odd. I'll do some more testing here when I've caught up with the support backlog.

I've found and fixed this problem. It was a 32 to 64 bit difference in the structures used to ennumerate running programs. It will be fixed in version 5.12, which I will probably be able to release later today, otherwse certainly by the weekend.

Incidentally, if a program won't CLOSE (and, yes, I know there are some like that), then the more ruthlss KILL option can be used. It's safe enough for most programs, assuming there are no settings to change. It's the same as using End Process in the Windows Task Manager.

Hope you had a wonderful vacation, it's great to have your continuing support

Just wanted to say thank you for the fix.  i use  Run and Runif a lot, it's a real timesaver when starting or ending a sim session. 

I have Installed and briefly tested version 5.12 ---- [Programs] RunIF is working normally  for me

best wishes 

Kevin
