ASV6.5 Setup Error 1714

[Dietmar 8]

Dear Support-Guys,I just bought and downloaded the new 6.5 full version for FSX.When I run setup.exe I get the following error and the setup aborted:"Error 1714. The older version of ActiveSky Version 6.5 and ActiveSky Graphics cannot be removed.Contact your technical support group."So, I guess thats you.Some more info:I had previous FS9 with ASV6.0 on that system and tried to backup with ASV6.5 with no succsess. So, I decided to stop all attemts on that and moved everything ( FS9 plus all the rest incl. ASV6 to my second system in order to install FSX. After FSX install I bought ASV6.5 from SIMMARKET , downloaded, tried the setup and got the error.I cleaned everything in the registry, files etc.. Results on any search ASV, ActiveSky, ASG etc. with no results. The system seems absolut clean. However: Error 1714 . Somewere in the System seems a ASV flag set ?? What can I do to fix this ?Thanks for your supportDietmar

Hi,Sorry for the problem. I did a Google search of that error and it is a installation type error. Your system still has signs of AS somewhere. We suggest using this:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...Ben-us%3B290301Then try a reinstall.Please let us know,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Jim,Thanks for the quick reply.I executed MSICUU, however no ASV showed up. The Download from MSgives me MSICUU2 which I could not execute. It indicates "no access toScript Host" on my system. Dont know what that means in this contex.Any other idea ???Dietmar

Sorry Jim,NEGATIV. No HIFI related to ASG, just HIFITime etc. along with Audio Applications. I am quite sure that the registry is clean as far as ActiveSky is concerned. What me concerns is, not to get the MSICUU2started. On my second System it works but here , as I mentioned, I get the error that the Scripthost cannot be accessed. Don't know what to do with that. However, I do not believe that this has something to do with my ASV Installation problem.The Installation process is still recected with the error above. Dietmar

Hi Jim,BINGO !! Problem fixed ! It was a corrupted installer package in the installer folder in Windows. The trouble was, that the package could not be identified with any name like ASG, Activesky etc.. The identification is unfortunatly a long, long, long packagenumber. So, no search at all could found this entry. Same situation in the registry. You need this number to locate it. I got this number when I looked into the log script in the Event List of the admin. services. A double click on that event showed me the number in the registry. From there I looked in the Installer Folder, clicked in the subfolder with the associated numbert and PENG! ASV, ASG etc. showed up. Delete on that, delete the registry entry and the problem was gone. So far the story. Installation now successfully completed and now ready to see how the weather looks like in FSX with ASV.Thanks for your support.Regards Dietmar
