repaid21 3 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi all, I just recently purchased this fine craft only to run into an install issue.. I get this error.. "ERROR with edit FSCatagories.xml..the Mission is not available." I've seen another post reguarding this issue with no resolution.. Any new news on this.. Version 1.2 (if I'm not mistaken).

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hello Repaid, Probably a permissions issue, lower UAC to its lowest setting and then install by right clicking on the installer and selecting, "Run as Administrator". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoose 3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hi repaid21, unfortunately it has nothing to do with UAC or permissions. It must be an error in the V1.2 FULL package. I remember having sent files to aerosoft support regarding this issue without getting any answers. I got rid of this issue by uninstalling V1.2 FULL (beware - your other missions might be affected afterwards), then installing V1.11 FULL plus the V1.2 UPDATE. Not sure if you can still get V1.11 though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repaid21 3 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'll try to find out about this. But dont think the old installer is still around. Funny enough, I just finished installed the cat under admin permissions and still get this error. . The only other thing that has messed with that particular file (and made a backup) was Manhattan X. I wish I could get it working right.. Thank you for looking into it .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repaid21 3 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Others are also now having this same issue.. since the last post, I have found and redid my XML file.. and reinstalled the catalina .. to the SAME end.. Even restored a untouched backup of FSX just to test it.. and, you guessed it.. same error. Even on Avsim, people are wondering why this error is so "ignored" There is also stated to be an update.. could I be pointed in the right direction please.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 7, 2012 Aerosoft Share Posted May 7, 2012 repaid21, I an handling support at this moment and not fully up to date on this issue. Have you send your xml to our support department and did you get it back from them? We have stopped doing mission add-ons because the mission system is very touchy and often seems to fail with customers without any detectable reason. We have checked all our mission things on 6 systems here in the office and they all seem to work. We do know that there are issues when FSX is not running in Administrator mode, but it seems that that is not the issue here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I was never asked to send it to anyone.. honestly .. the mission is not really on my high priority list to fix.. as its now become such a hassle, not worth all this "troubleshooting" time away from my family. At least I was fortunate enough to have a backup of said file made by Manhattan (and an original made my me). I'm not the only one with this issue.. but if you say its so touchy.. I will not bother with it anymore.. perhaps it should be made an OPTIONAL install, with a disclaimer.. I also fail to understand why running FSX in administratior mode will make the install of the Catalina go smoother, considering that its the CAT install that is failing and messing up the xml file.. unless there are other issues that you are referring to.

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hello Repaid21, Have you at anytime installed any other 3rd party missions into FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repaid21 3 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've not on purpose installed any missions.. the only other software I've installed that messed with the xml would be Manhattan... but I've tried to put the file back to original (from a backup, and from Manhattans OWN backup).. and catalina install still errors out. As far as other payware. I have mostly ORBX and Aerosoft Scenery .. and Payware aircraft.. which, to the best of my knowledge do not mess with the xml.. with the acception of Manhattan..

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hello Repaid221, Not sure that the Manhattan scenery does corrupt the FSCatagories.xml file as I have no issues installing the Catalina or other mission packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyb 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I installed both files V100 and UPD V110 in my FSX sim and I only get one Catalina showing to fly. Why don't the others show up. I didn't get any error on the install. What could it be ? I running windows 7 on my PC. Bob out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
