Installed my ezdok on p3d 2.3 and ofc manually input all the entries for exe.xml.. the add-on loads up with p3d, but seems to get "stuck".. this is probably some kind of permission error, no prompt though.

 

What it looks like:

 

 

Something is stopping it from loading. Another evidence of this is because in-game, it doesn't even show up in the menu.

 

I found a thread someone started on Microsoft's support site, but the reply he got was robotic and not helpful in any way: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/odd-permissions-behaviour/c0b3c201-3444-4eaa-bac7-5f0dc046bd40

 

I have 8.1 PRO, which is slightly more network oriented etc'. I think this maybe the main cause for this issue, as I see many people reporting ezdok to work just fine on their 8.1.

 

My windows user is set to Administrator by default and UAC is turned off completely. My anti-virus real time monitoring is also Off. I made sure none of these can interfere so it's just this weird permission (most likely) issue.. wondered if anyone else encountered it because I couldn't find this exact issue on google search results.

 

Thanks.

I have 8.1 pro too with similar settings (UAC, admin) and ezdok works just fine. I can't think any permission problems, unless ezdok isn't installed in some funny place in OS drive.

It's installed to it's default: Program Files (x86).

 

I noticed Win 8.1 is posing permission trouble if even you're admin and uac is off.. how annoying.  :angry:

 

I guess my next try is installing it outside that folder.

Looks like I'm the only one with this issue. How strange.  <_<

You are not alone I have exactly the same issue.

It use to work fine on my old PC but since replacing it 5 months ago I have never been able to get it to work.

I have searched the web and cannot find anything that seems to fix this issue.

I have now moved to "Opus FSI" Beta for camera views and personally I think Ezdok was easier to configure.

I would still like to get Ezdok to work and I can only think that it is a clash of DLL or some hardware issue that is causing this.

By the way, did you install ezdok straight from Flight1 wrapper or from already extracted exe? If I remember correctly it needs to be installed alaways from the wrapper for it to work. Sounds silly, but if I remember correctly that is the way to install nonethless.

I´m not getting any error messages, but I dont get EZDOK in the addon menu from P3D. This did happen once before with P3D2.2, but I managed to get it fixed by a reinstall. But now with P3D2.3 I cant seem to get it fixed whatever I try.

I dont run configurator and copy the additions to xml and cfg manually

UAC disabled, install as admin, tried with and without EMT, but no luck...

I have installed it many times using the wrapper and without with the same result.

Through the wrapper only.
