System Variables Affecting Live Update??
« on: December 09, 2024, 04:00:49 am »
Hello,

So I have stumbled upon an interesting correlation. If I happen to have mingw64/bin folder (gcc and g++ compilers) added to my system variable path every time I launch the FSDT live update I run into some sort  of crash, download error, blue screen, etc.

The only way I have managed to successfully update GSX without a corrupt or incomplete installation is by removing the system variable and trying again. I find this to be a really weird correlation and I have no real proof of causation. Every time I the live update crashes, on the log it just looks like a normal exit. The only real error code I have gotten is a Download Task Error for either some liveries zip or the layout.jason. And when it does give me an exception code my system is quick to blue screen so I cant capture it.

As I said I currently have a working GSX installation, but its kind of annoying to remove the variable path every time there is a new update. Could you guys think of any interference these two might have? I know its a long shot but might be worth looking at.

One of the product in your path might be using a different windows runtime ( .NET or VC++ ) than the one we compiled the installer with, that's the only possible reason I can think of, and it would help if you posted the Event log.
