msfs Addon Orginizer for MSFS Prototype

[earthdog 842]

Hi!

I am trying out the Addon Organizer and i am receiving the following error message.

I am on Store version, and i can open and edit the content.xml normally.

Also i am running the addon organizer as admin.

Any ideas?

The error message is misleading. The file and op that it shows are what has last been read. And I can see that it processed the Official folder alright, so the problem is not the content.xml. That was just the last file that has been read before, and the app didn't get a chance to read others..

Something is wrong in the Community folder. All files that MSAO wants to read are checked for existence first, so that can't be it. Maybe a broken junction or symlink (=reparse point)?

Please consider sending me an email. I need to add more error processing around this, but I have no way of knowing what is actually going wrong.

Same problem here with both latest versions 108 and 109.

Disabled all my Comunity addons but no joy

I will try and catch those file system errors, but it is hard to do that in the blind. If any of you could send me an email I will create a debug version so we can pinpoint the cause. 

Did you use any other tool before, do you have Orbx stuff and/or did you create symlinks manually?

[earthdog 842]

In the morning i will contact you and we can debug this together. I have orbx , i havemt created symlinks manually but i am using the addon manager which does create symlinks.

So i got past the error after your explanation. It was indeed misleading. The problem for me was a symlink that was not correct. It was pointing to a non-existent directory.

It loaded up just fine.

I am using a lot the "Export to Google" feature and i tried it.

I got an error that illegal characters exist in the file.

The strange thing is that after i opened the file the airports i saw where relevant to my old P3D installation. I dont have P3d anymore installed in my drives nor i have sceneries installed. I searched in the KLM an di found no reference to MSFS airports. Is this feature under construction?

OK, I can catch that.

Maybe it is an old KMZ file? Were you using the Lorby P4AO back in the day?

Can you please post the error message or send it to my via PM? At the rate that new sceneries are released, there's bound to be many "odd things" along the way, and new errors will have to be caught all the time.

[earthdog 842]

Ok i will...But i dont have an error message. I will run the google exporter and will send you the info i have

Yes i have used it before for P3D but now everything is wiped. Very strange. Stand by for info.

Everything P3D maybe. But the P4AO KMZ file probably wasn't, by default it is in \Documents

Check your PMs.

Hello @ll,

as for the problem described in the OP, version 1.00 b11 takes care of that. It is already available for download.

Best regards

I am getting a virus alert when I go to download the MSFS addon organizer and the download is prohibited.  I am using W10 Defender.  Am I to assume this a a false alert?

I have the same problem with version msfs_addonorganizer_1_00_b17.zip

[earthdog 842]

I too have the b17 and every other before but no errors... I am using ESET Antivirus. In any case i think that it is a false positive.
