Macbrowndog 5 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I had some redundant add 0n.xml files in the Prepar V4 addon folder (uninstall the programs but but the uninstaller did not remove the addon.xml folder or file. Here where my problem started... I ran Simstarter for P3D V4.1 and tried to remove these entries... first time the program crashed and deleted my entire Prepar V4 addon folder... (not good) I then had to reinstall all the scenery and files. I restarted Simstarter and tried again this time with the error in the screen dump Please login to display this image.

Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted October 19, 2017 Developer Share Posted October 19, 2017 Please post a Debug Pack. SIMstarter NG is unable to delete your whole AddOn folder. There must be something different. The initial question would be: what causes duplicate add-on.xml files? Very strange... But maybe the DebugPack gives some clearness.

Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted October 25, 2017 Developer Share Posted October 25, 2017 The file is faulty. Looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" Version="4,0" ID="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>NY AIRPORTS V2 X</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Component> <Path>D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Addon Scenery\NY Airports v2 X</Path> </AddOn.Component> </SimBase.Document> Should look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" Version="4,0" ID="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>NY AIRPORTS V2 X</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>NY AIRPORTS V2 X</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Scenery</Category> <Path>D:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Addon Scenery\NY Airports v2 X</Path> <Name>NY AIRPORTS V2 X</Name> </AddOn.Component> </SimBase.Document> Or Download Add-On.xml and replace the faulty one. I would recommand reading the SDK if you want to modify these files by your self. Much better: Use Add-On.xml Manager of SIMstarter NG. :O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macbrowndog 5 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 This is interesting. I did not manually modify this file... The file was created when I installed the NY Scenery... Your amendment has fixed the start up error but... If you check the screen grab you will see in RED "file not found" ... If I delete this file with the option Delete Add-on.xml at the bottom of the box the entire box turns red and SimStarter deletes the entire Prepar3D Add-Ons in the Document library... See screen grab of before and after. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted October 27, 2017 Developer Share Posted October 27, 2017 Topic closed after a Skype session. Issue was caused by a fauly add-on.cfg file (not by SIMstarter NG). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
