VRPATH issue in P3D with PMDG 737NG

[EmileB 15]

I posted the following in the official P3D forum some three weeks ago but received no replies from anyone there.  As the issue I encountered, arose after installing the PMDG 737NG, I'm now posting it here just in case someone can enlighten me. Sorry it's a bit verbose :

I recently installed P3DV4.3 from scratch. My flightsim PC runs Windows 7 64 bit, which has also been recently installed on a newly formatted SSD. Sofar the only add-ons I had installed, were the most recent versions of FSUIPC and EZCA, no add-on scenery, no add-on aircraft. P3D4.3 ran fine sofar, no warnings or other issues.

But then I installed my first add-on aircraft : the PMDG 737NG (base pack only sofar, no add-on liveries, freshly downloaded from the PMDG store). Since that install, each time while P3D is loading, a window titled "SimConnect Diagnostic Output" opens with the following message :
0.00000 SimConnect version 4.3.0.0
Unable to read VR Path Registry from C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath

P3D appears to run OK, the 737NG loads OK. The above window closes when I shut down P3D.  But what does this message mean and more importantly, should I be concerned about it and if so, how could it be fixed ?

Thanks a lot for any explanations or suggestions.

Looks like you have some logging enabled.

 

<Documents>/Prepar3D v4 Files do you have a simconnect.ini file? If yes remove it and try again.
