Rob Ainscough 204 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I've double checked my EXE.XML and there is only one entry for SODE, but it's showing up twice in the Add-Ons menu. Any suggestions, anyone else have this problem with P3D V3? Cheers, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nope: Please login to display this image. Rob, could it be that you have more then 2 exe.xml files with entries for SODE? from the SDK document: Libraries and Executables The priority for how add-on library and executable configuration files differs from content and is initialized as follows: ProgramData: Configuration files named dll.xml or exe.xml found at: %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Roaming: Configuration files named dll.xml or exe.xml found at: %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 If multiple configuration files are found, then the list of paths are merged together when processed according to the above priority. When an add-on library is initialized, the dll is loaded. When an add-on executable is initialized, the executable is started. My SODE entry is located in the exe.xml at this path: %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 I can confirm that you get two SODE entries when having SODE configured in ProgramData and Roaming. Removing it in one of them get's you only one item in the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Ainscough 204 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yep that was the issue ... I had recently installed all the V3 compatible updates for Aerosoft/FSDG airports, looks like some of the installers used ProgramData, some used Roaming for SODE entry ... leaving me with two SODE loading, but oddly only one DLL.XML entry for the animation DLL? I see potential for some issues here ... doesn't appear to be any validation for duplicate entries on installers nor any validate via LM when loading. Wonder if P3D ErrorContent.log shows duplicate? Anyway, thanks for info ... I'll have to keep an eye out for this one as it's probably going to cause more issues down the line. Cheers, Rob.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 4, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 4, 2015 Indeed. Also I could not find an explanation, when which path should be used. But mybe I missed something in the SDK docu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoneyprs 186 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just came across this as well. Do we know why there are EXEs and DLLs in programdata in addition to appdata>roaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca210270 4 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So, what SODE entry is safer to remove, the one in PROGRAMDATA or the one in APPDATA? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aua668 19 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi, The SODE user guide recommends the Roaming location. See the screenshot of the PlatformManager: http://sode.12bpilot.ch/?page_id=9# Rgds Reinhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
