supera380 12 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi Otto, Still the same issue after installing additional C++ libraries. I was not able to find c++ 2005 redistributable from MS. Looks like they removed it! However 2005 is installed on my system. Latest ASInfo attached. Regards Mark ASinfo_after_C++installs.TXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supera380 12 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 And one more thing. I did find the latest v1.3.1.0 product file for the A320 .xml file in a different folder and placed it in the Livery Installer/Products folder. It now generates a different JIT error "Too many items in the Combo box" Not sure if this helps or not? Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goshob 23 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi, I am sorry to say that my liveryinstaller/products folder is empty also. I did a complete new installation of A320/21 and A330 as per the manual provided several times here. The MS framework and C++ libraries are updated as advised in all previous topics. Unfortunately the result with the new Aerosoft Livery tool is same as per the attached. There is no link to Livery Manager, no matter it stays in the menu. Everything else is as reported by the other colleagues here. Please comment more about this. Thank you! Please login to display this image.

Many people are unable to get it working due to this .NET error as well as a missing product files under our aerosoft/liveryinstaller/products folder. This is clearly an error related to software since all these people are reporting the EXACT same problem. Perhaps a test would be.. Install the old version first then the new version and see if you get the same errors as all of us? If this is a poor test then perhaps support can provide us with some direction on things to try. The .NET Error is below. The update is also removing the .xml file in the products folder. This livery installer shows no products installed. This is also a clean system, up to date including all the .NET files.

Goshob 23 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 6 hours ago, mopperle said: - older liveries can not be installed using the new installer: reason has also been explained Hi, Sorry, but I need to mix 2 topics, which are concerning almost same subject. The explanation as per the above was: "As we do not make the liveries, you will have to check if the person who made the livery used his own system or our standard. Simply out of our control". Sorry to say, but this sounds quite strange and immediately raises some very logical questions: - what exactly standards the livery should comply with? - why the same liveries were working with the previous versions and most important, why do they work normally when installed manually in this version? I do not like to be a mentor to anybody, but my very friendly suggestion to the entire team involved in the "livery" subject is PLEASE have a look at the program code once again. Nobody is perfect and mistakes may happen in many occasions. Alternatively, there will be more topics like the several on the same subject as registered here. I am also afraid that the tone will be not so "proactive" compared to mine here... Have a nice weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Querer 74 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Especially when some marketing genius calls the new livery manager "a very clever livery manager", which is obviously not "clever" enough to be capable of installing hundreds of already available liveries...

The only thing that has changed on this system was this update, so that is why I believe it is software related. I am not a coder or designer. I just see that there are many users with the exact same issue. Many can't get the livery manager to work, let alone even open correctly due to the .NET Framework error. The operating systems is updated, and the .NET Framework repair tool has been run. The guide I posted earlier is how I tried to install the latest A320/A321 release. The livery manager also no longer recognizes Aerosoft products. My intention isn't to create more issues but to solve this one issue. I am more than willing to send file structures or whatever is needed to troubleshoot and thought a forum where many people have the issue would be a good place to solve everything together as a team. Is this something we can do? If this isn't the place to get support on this perhaps I can be led to the right place to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supera380 12 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi, I would agree with Airforce806. The only change is the installation of the latest Aerosoft package for the Airbus on my system (although via some additional t/shooting from this thread I have additional c++ libraries installed now). I can even roll back to v1.3.0.3 and everything including the old Livery Manager works. Therefore there has to be some explanation of why some users are unable to use the new Livery Manager when installing the latest Aerosoft update for the Airbus. What also does not appear correct is even though there's a .NET error, the fact that the Products folder is completely empty means the installation is not occurring as expected. Anyway I hope the Aerosoft Support team can continue to work on the reported problem with the help of this community given its difficult to reproduce the issue right now by the Support team itself. In the meantime, I have reverted to installing the old Livery Manager posted by Mathijs and relinked the existing Start menu option for this old application. With this workaround, at least I can get my existing Airbus liveries imported into the sim now and continue flying.

supera380 12 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi All, I believe I have solved the problem for the A320/A321 for P3Dv4! The issue for me is indeed missing product .xml files for the new Livery Manager. I assume something "screwy" occurred with the latest installation of the Airbus v1.3.1.0 that Aerosoft should look into given a number of users have reported similar problems. For me the solution was the following to get the new Livery Manager working for the A320/A321 Professional package: Take one or more of the attached Product xml files from this post (based upon which Aerosoft products you have actually installed) and copy that file(s) into your Documents/Aerosoft/LiveryInstaller/Products folder. In my case, this Products folder was completely empty after the installation of v1.3.1.0. Startup the new Livery Manager and you should see a screenshot showing the provided Aerosoft liveries. Note 1: The majority of existing livery packages still do not import since they are missing the new LiveryManager.txt file required in the Texture folder of each repaint so that it can be read by the new Livery Manager. - I looked at a few A320/A321 repaint downloads from the Aerosoft forum today and I could not find any so far that include the additional LiveryInstaller.txt file to make them work with the new Livery Manager. Note 2: Given the above, by using the Package Selected Livery option within the new Livery Manager, you can save one of those installed liveries to your local PC to create a package that contains the template for the LiveryManager.txt file. I have not tried this out yet. Note 3: If the relevant product .xml (note these are mostly the Prof packages) is not listed here, please contact Aerosoft. They should have them! I hope that helps a little!

supera380 12 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi All, Just a quick follow up to Notes 1 and 2 mentioned in the above post, I did experiment today with creating a modified repaint zip file with the new LiveryInstaller.txt file included that is then compatible with the new Livery Manager program. This does in principal work if you create/modify the existing Airbus livery zip file in question by adding the newly created LiveryInstaller.txt file and including the two relevant sections in this file as documented in other Livery Manager threads. As mentioned, the best way to do this is by saving your own "template" file for the LiveryInstaller.txt by using the Package Selected Option of the new Livery Manager, as mentioned in the post above, to obtain that file from one of your already installed Airbus liveries and then modifying the file accordingly with the correct Airbus product type and including the correct [Fltsim.x] section details.
