Updated GSX again and problem not resolved

[cpoppert]

I saw on the forum that there was a bug with FSX-SE (which is what I'm using) and there was a fix and all that I needed to do was to run the FSDT Live Update.  Which I did.  I then cranked up FSX in a default airport (KORF at B21) in Captainsim 757-200 III.  I pressed the good ol' ctrl-shift-F12 and I still get the error and it will show me the log, which is all in computer speak (which I do not speak), then I get the option of Restarting Coautl. It'll restart fine but if I try to pull up GSX it will go back in to this loop.  What am I doing wrong?

The whole point of the log, is not that you have to understand it, but you must report it to support, because we surely know what it means.

This is the log I get.

The log shows GSX cannot find an object which we surely install so, the only possible reason if your FSX.CFG being corrupted, so it couldn't be updated.

But it can also indicate a problem with your registry keys, usually FSX and FSX:SE mistakenly set or copied one to another, which would cause a problem to "proper" products like GSX that supports both, even installed together.

Do you have FSX:SE only, or you have (or you HAD ) the original FSX too ?

If you only have FSX:SE, check if you have this file:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX-SE\FSX_SE.CFG

If you have it, and you have only FSX:SE installed, then the problem is your registry keys corrupted.

[cpoppert]

Okay so I have the fsx_se.cfg file and it opens just fine.  I do not have plain fsx installed nor did I buy GSX while I owned the physical copy.  So what do I do now if registry key is now corrupted.

[virtuali]

Okay so I have the fsx_se.cfg file and it opens just fine. 

I'l try to explain better:

I asked if you had that file AND if you still have the regular FSX installed. Because, if you don't have the regular FSX anymore, the FSX_SE.CFG file and its entire folder is NOT supposed to be there!

A proper, normal, clean FSX:SE installation should have its configuration file here:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG

The FSX_SE.CFG file is only used when you have BOTH FSX:SE and FSX installed and the same time and you want to use them both. That's called the side-by-side installation, and it's default if you install FSX:SE without removing FSX.

The problem with the registry happen when you remove FSX *after* installing FSX:SE. The proper procedure would require to Uninstall FSX:SE and reinstall it again, to let it re-configure itself in the "stand-alone" mode. Many users don't do this, and they end up in this situation.

Do you think this is your situation ?

[cpoppert]

This is not the case at all.  I've had this computer for 5 years now and I have not once installed FSX.  I don't understand how this has become an issue because I've bought and use your Chicago, JFK v2, LAX, Vegas, DFW, IAH and FLL.  The power train behind that which I've used before all of those was the original GSX.  GSX worked just fine until I updated.  I just don't get how my product keys went from just fine to all corrupted after this update.

[virtuali]

This is not the case at all.  I've had this computer for 5 years now and I have not once installed FSX

I'm sorry, but the FSX_SE.CFG file and folder is there ONLY if you install FSX:SE without uninstalling the regular FSX. Note that, FSX:SE has been released a bit less than 5 years ago ( Oct. 2014), are you sure you never installed FSX ?

I just don't get how my product keys went from just fine to all corrupted after this update.

Your registry keys were *already* wrong before, they haven't changed. What has changed, is the new Updater, which doesn't have AS MANY defenses as the old one had against users with wrong registry keys, because we assumed that, after all this years FSX:SE has been released, everybody would have reinstalled their PC, so they would only have proper registry keys.

Here's a link to an older thread, in which the correct registry keys are explained:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,14166.msg104727.html#msg104727

Please read it carefully, because it might sound counter-intuitive at first.

[cpoppert]

Okay I have searched all over my computer and found the original location of FSX. although I never installed it the only thing in the config folder was something for SODE.  There is only 11 files there none of which explain any of this.  I bought the orginial GSX in July 2015.  I looked in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX and there is a FSX.CFG.  the only thing in there was this

[Display]
SKINNED_ANIMATIONS=1
[Main]
SimObjectPaths.0=C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\data\SimObjects
SimObjectPaths.1=C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects
SimObjectPaths.2=G:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.3=G:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Addon Manager\Simobjects\Legacy

[virtuali]

I looked in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX and there is a FSX.CFG.  the only thing in there was this

Clearly proving what I said: GSX was tricked into updating *that* file, because your registry keys says FSX:SE is installed stand-alone. However, your FSX:SE is mistakenly configured (because of the wrong registry keys) to use the OTHER FSX_SE.CFG file, which should be located here:

%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE\FSX_SE.CFG

This location shouldn't be used if you only have FSX:SE installed, it's supposed to be used only when you have both FSX:SE and FSX so, if you don't have FSX anymore, it's a clear indication your FSX:SE is wrongly configured to run together with FSX.

However, to prevent this problem, the current version of the Live Update has been updated to update BOTH files, if found, even if they are not supposed to be there. Have you tried running it now ?

[cpoppert]

Hey, I'm sorry I put you through this but after your last recommendation of running the live updater, GSX is back up and working.  I cannot thank you enough!
