All of a sudden, EZdok and AS2016 stopped working. If I try to configure EZCA through the config.exe panel it says that "The ROOT section in the EXE.XML file not found. Likewise, AS2016 won't start because it think the file is corrupt. I don't see anything wrong. I just installed a few windows 10 updates, then bam, everything stopped working.

Appreciate any help!

 

By the way - I have one EXE.XML file in Programdata. This was recently changed/altered recently as well but I cant spot any errors.

You are missing an opening <Launch.Addon> above <Name>EZdok camera addon</Name>

also your path separators are mixed, using "\" and "/".

 

 

Cheers.

You are absolutely correct, sir! Sometimes when you focus hard on finding mistakes you end up completely blinded by the obvious ones.

 

AS2016 uses the as_btstrp_config_manager.exe.

 

However, now I'm back to a previous issue where ReShade causes P3D to crash whenever starting AS2016, TrackIR or vPilot for instance. Switch ReShade off and everything is fine.
