Platform path settings P3DV4.3

Hello Peter,

I opted to update to the current P3DV4.3 via the optional client install only.  After updating SimStarter to v 1.8.1, I perhaps misread the instructions per the instructions in How to 005: reinstall SimStarter.

Upon launch, SimStarter advises that there is a possible duplicate "dll" entry in the platform specific settings for P3DV4,  Looking at those entries displays two identical path settings to dll.xml:

  • Path to dll.xml:  C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml and
  • Path to dll.xml (ProgramData):  C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml

My Simstarter application is on my drive labeled "F" and P3Dv4.3 resides on my drive labeled "E"

 

I also have two paths to the "exe.xml" which are different:

  • Path to exe,xml:  C:\Users\......\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml
  • Path to exe.xml (ProgramData):  C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml

Can you help me untangle this issue which I may have created?

I can execute P3DV4 standalone.

 

Thanks

Dom

You can do it at the GUI as well, but let's make it in the config file itself:

C:\Aerosoft\SIMstarter NG\data\userprofiles\P3Dv4\settings.ini

 

See this:

 

[PATH]
simExe=E:\Prepar3D v4\PREPAR3D.EXE
simCfg=C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\prepar3d.cfg
sceneryCfg=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\scenery.cfg
dllXml=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml
dllXmlProgData=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml
exeXml=C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml
exeXmlProgData=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml

 

Should point to C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml. You did it right with the exe.xml. One path to C:\User\... and the other to C:\ProgramData\...

 

Corrected:

 

[PATH]
simExe=E:\Prepar3D v4\PREPAR3D.EXE
simCfg=C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\prepar3d.cfg
sceneryCfg=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\scenery.cfg
dllXml=C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml
dllXmlProgData=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml
exeXml=C:\Users\mecca\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml
exeXmlProgData=C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\exe.xml
