ivatt Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I would welcome any suggestions on how to start both FSUIPC & SpadNext from the FSUIPC batch file. I have tried to edit the batch file to make the change but SpadNext doesn't load. but FSUIPC does sao I must have got something wrong Appropriate text that I can copy and paste would be ideal.

FSUIPC should be started from the MSFS EXE.xml file. You should also start Spad.next using the EXE.xml file, not the MSFS.bat file provided by FSUIPC. You should only start things directly from the MSFS.bat file if having issues when using the EXE.xml batch file. 3 minutes ago, ivatt said: Sorry just seen topic Adding TrackIR5 to MSFS.bat which seems to answer my query. Ok. For others reading this thread, that is this topic: John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivatt Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi John, just looking again at the above mentioned post and have opened the FSUIPC install log file but can't see where it tells me where to locate the MSFS's EXE.xml file.

John Dowson Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 It will only be there if you opted to install the auto-start component. This is in mine: Quote Adding FSUIPC7 auto-start the the MSFS EXE.xml. Updating EXE.XML for Steam install C:\Users\jldow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\EXE.xml has been updated. But why didn't you attach your InstallFSUIPC7.log file so that I can check this? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dowson Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Didn't you see this: Quote Updating EXE.XML for MS Store install Error loading EXE.xml file: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\EXE.xml **** Auto-start of FSUIPC7 with MSFS will not be enabled **** **** To resolve, remove or rename this file and re-install: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\EXE.xml**** ?

ivatt Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi John Yes but didn't know what exactly it was telling me as I get the splash screen from FSUIPC when I start MSFS so assumed all was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That log line tells you - it is here: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\EXE.xml But there is something wrong with that file - please attach that here.

Yes, of course - did you not take a look? You should, and familiarise yourself with the format so that you can correct if something corrupts it.

ivatt Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Hi John Just been trying MSFS and FSUIPC loads as normal but not SpadNext. Looking at the file you send it gives the path for both as D: which is system Reserved on my PC. FSUIPC is installed in the Windows (C) main folder and SpadNext is installed in the Program Files folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just corrected the format of the files - I left the paths as they were specified. 1 minute ago, ivatt said: FSUIPC is installed in the Windows (C) main folder and SpadNext is installed in the Program Files folder. Then just change the paths in the EXE.xml file so that the <Path> element is pointing to the correct location for the exe....its not that difficult to understand...

ivatt Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Thanks John Thought that might be the case, so will make the change. As FSUIPC loads anyway do I need to change that entry or is the load process triggered elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 3 hours ago, ivatt said: As FSUIPC loads anyway do I need to change that entry or is the load process triggered elsewhere If FSUIPC7 is starting automatically, than that entry must be correct and pointing your FSUIPC7.exe in its installed folder. If that is not the case, just re-run the installer - now your EXE.xml is in the correct format you shouldn't have any issues when you reinstall anymore.
