Hi,

one of your two dll.xml files is broken, the XML format has been corrupted. And the error is in line 17, column 4 in that file.

It is either this one:

C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml

or that one

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\dll.xml

Best regards

Thanks Oliver. I will check the two files.

 

Hi I checked

I Can't see any errors.

Any ideas?

There could be invalid / invisible characters in the file. When I copy&paste your text I get some of those, for example at the very end of the first file. But that is no proof. I would need the original files. If you want, send them to me via email, address is on the last page of the manual.

If you want to try it yourself, open the first file, position your cursor behind the last character of </SimBase.Document>, making sure that you are precisely behind the >, no other characters inbetween. Then press Return to get to the next line, then "del" a couple of times. Now save and try again. But as I wrote, from your copied text above I can't be sure of this.

Best regards

Thanks, I will try.

Not to hijack this thread but rather than start a new one...I keep getting this error message in the xml document (8,5) Content will not be visible and having issues with STB and Active Sky..talked to Daveo..they are working on it but maybe if I post xml...you could look at it...edit it and repaste it ... I use Notepad ++

Several tags are wrong. Only the closing tag can have the / (that is how the parser knows that it is the closing statement)

<Node>
 <SubNode>...Stuff...</SubNode>
</Node>

is how XML works.

Your file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> 
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>as_connect</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>as_srv\as_connect_64.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>FSUIPC 5</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>P:\P3DV4.3\Modules\FSUIPC5.dll</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document> 

Btw. in Prepar3d V4 this whole dll.xml file is unnecessary and should be replaced with an add-on.xml.

Do you see anything wrong? 

Ron,

Only thing I see is the first file has this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
    <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
    <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>

    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_HUD_interface.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
    <Name>PMDG_Interface</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_Interface.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>RAASPRO</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>.\RAASPRO\RAASPRO.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

The two lines above I have bolded I think are incorrect...it appears there is an opening tag missing, so I believe it should be (without the extra line return):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
    <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
    <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>PMDG_HUD_interface</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_HUD_interface.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>

  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>PMDG_Interface</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_Interface.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>RAASPRO</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>.\RAASPRO\RAASPRO.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

I don't know much about xml, so I don't know if this would cause CTD or not, or if this is all that's potentially wrong with the file.

It would be easy to test my correction (save the original file first), make the change and see if it helps.

Kind Regards,

Hi @ll,

somiller is correct in his assessment and the fix.

This is the second time that I see this, and exactly the same addon - PMDG_Interface. This is starting to look like there is a bug in PMDGs installers (which could be avoided entirely if they decided to use the proper method - an add-on.xml - for referencing their stuff. Editing the dll.xml is no longer required since P3D version 3.x.).

Best regards

Oliver,

You made my day, as according to my wife, this is the first time I've been right this year...not bad, and only July 22! Maybe I can be right again before the New Year.

Kind Regards,
