P4AO Error when reading config file

[Stefan01 6]

P4AO v1.41 b01  P3dv4.5 HF
Hi all,
I just installed P4AO the first time.
On start I get the message: Error when reading config file <C:\Users\User Name\\AppData\RoamingLockheedMartin\Prepared3D V4\addons.cfg> Could not find file `C:\Users\User Name\\AppData\RoamingLockheedMartin\Prepared3D V4\addons.cfg´
It is strongly advised not to continue with P4AO.

It is true in the above folder I have no file with name addons.cfg I have only in the folder "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ " a file with name add-ons.cfg
What shall I do?
Thanks for advice Stefan

Just open another .cfg, in that folder, clear the contents and save as add-ons.cfg.

That is strange, there should be a file named "add-on.cfg" in "AppData\Roaming..." too, even if it is empty. 

What simulator are you using and what addons do you have? P3D version 4.4 had a bug in the addon autodiscovery, so I wonder if you may be using that version?

As Ian wrote, the easiest fix is to create an empty text file in that location and name it add-ons.cfg.

Best regards

Thanks that works.

It was a brand new PC with P3D v4.4. After the release of P3dV4.5 HF I uninstalled v4.4 and installed v4.5HF.
