I've had this problem before, but can't find the solution nor a relevant search result here. Can anyone help...?

 

Ezdok is no longer starting up with FSX. This happened after a the system crashed.

 

As I recall from previous times, it's usually about a corrupt 'EXE.XML' file, but reinstalled twice and also tried manually entering the data.

 

Anyone remember how to fix this?

Try this one, Phil.

There was a closing line missing. One of these </Launch.Addon> .

Thanks for that, but it must've been a copy & paste error. That's also in my copy. Really strange.

You are missing </Launch.Addon> after AI Carriers.

^_^ Trust me on this, Phil. As TheGrunt says, there's that one line missing. Just copy and paste the text from my post and save the file as exe.xml. This should work. :smile:

I know, that's what i meant. Mine was exactly the same. I have still tried a direct copy and paste though, and the ****** still won't launch.

 

I remember this from a couple of years back. It was just as frustrating then too;-)

 

I've double and quad checked the file paths - all correct. I've even tried using an old backup copy of the xml file, and it STILL won't launch! Grrrrrr

 

...should there be any ezdok entries in the dd.xml file, 'cos there aren't

Hello

Go here (Flight1) for a free tool to fix your dll.xml file:

The Ezdok entry you want is in your exe.xml file, here is mine with the entry you need in blue

</Launch.Addon> was missing from your own copy paste. CoolP's is different from yours.

Thanks, but like i said, i was aware of that. That's why i said it was just a copy & paste error on my orriginal.

 

I now have Ezdok functioning correctly once again. And.... once again, it's due to the wonderful way that Avsim works. I sincerely thank you guys (and those who run this 'gaff' for making it possible). ;-)

 

The problem was indeed the dll.xml and not the exe.xml I simply added the data manually supplied by mad dog (cheers, another beer i owe you).

 

What I do find utterly bizarre, is that NONE of my old backup versions of dll.xml contain that data!!!! And yet i've had Ezdok since launch. Ho hum....

 

Thanks again guys - you're the 'dogs wottsits' ;-)
