Trying to figure out that xml thing...

[Farlis 2,281]

Greetings Oliver,

The Addon Organizer is complaining about errors in my dll.xml at 14,5

If I open Notepad ++ I see the numbers of the lines but how to I figure out the column? I don't get it.

Maybe you could take a look at it?

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi,

it is the first one. "PMDG\DLLs\PMDG_HUD_interface.dll" is missing the opening <Launch.Addon> tag.

XML is defined as a "tree" of opening and closing tags <xyz><abc>...</abc><def>...</def></xyz>. If tags don't match or overlap, the XML is invalid.

When you use the "<>" button (next to the smiling icon), you can copy&paste the XML code into your post. When you select "XML" as the format at the bottom right of that dialog, syntax highlighting will show you issues in the XML too.

Best regards
