Hello

I had SODE v1.4.1 installed initially. When I tried to upgrade to v1.5.3, it asked for the v1.4.1 installer, which I downloaded from the historic downloads page and pointed the v1.5.3 installer to it.

The installer run for a while and then gave me the following error :

Any subsequent attemts to install SODE results in the same error. The 12bpilot folder was deleted from Program Files(x86), but the one in ProgramData still exists. Default jetways work fine, but those airports which need additional data in the SODE folder are missing jetways.

I checked on the GSX forum, where someone said it may be due to leftover registry entries, which is not the case here. My sim is Prepar3d v4.1. I've posted on the SODE forum, but no replies there for a few days now.
Any solutions for this ?

Cheers

Whew, man... I don't know. 

I had a problem with SODE once, where I constantly ended up not being able to register the module correctly. Not alarm you (or anyone else) but I ended up re-installing Windows, since my patience simply fell short. *SIGH*

The only advice I can give you, is to search your computer for folders and files related to SODE (download the program "Everything" if you want to search faster) and search the registry; CTRL+F in regedit and search for SODE leftovers... Also, try posting your problem on the SODE developers website. He's very helpful.

SODE is an amazing and powerful module. It's a piece of cake to install. But a pain to troubleshoot.

At least in my experience...

Thanks for the reply. I have posted on their forums, but so far no reply. I hope I do not have to reinstall windows, since then I will have to make do without jetways for a while. GSX seems to work fine. Reinstalling everything just for jetways on a handful of airports seems be a bit too much for me.

I will try out the software you suggest, and see how it goes.

I would click on Sode/Tools and take a look at the Log to see what is missing or what happened (located in the Sode directory in the ProgramData folder).  I know it needs the correct simconnect version installed (FSX SP2/ACC SimConnect).

Try installing the sode installers that comes with PD3V4, check under PD3V4\Redist.

Install all of the SODE clients inside except the Russian and Japanese.

SimConnect. Your spell checker must have tricked you.

Lol yes! Sorry.

Just guessing here, but I think version 1.4.1 should be removed with control panel before installing 1.5.3.... that's what my (very poor) memory recalls from my upgrade many months ago.

I already had them installed, but I reran the installers for each of the simconnect modules again. Unfortunately, SODE still refuses to install. I get the same error. I hope this has nothing to do with the latest Windows update.

I do not have a Tools subfolder in the SODE folder in ProgramData, but the SODE.log, from 8th of August reads as follows

[19:15:08.004] INFO  : SODE Version 1.4.1
[19:15:08.324] FATAL  : No Target Simulator Platform supplied! Shuting down...
[19:15:08.324] INFO  : Terminate SODE.

I could not find any entry for SODE 1.4.1 in the uninstall list,

 

Thanks for all your help, hope I can fix this soon.
