AI Aircraft Editor 2.1.18

[gsnde]

Hello,

Today I have release version 2.1.18 of the AI Aircraft Editor on AVSim, FlightSim and at The Owls Nest.

Newly added is an FS9/FSX viewer component. You can display the currently selected model and texture in a separate window. My cordial thanks goes to Arno, who changed the MCX components in a way that this could work and who helped me patiently to get this done. Thank you, Arno
And thank you, Jon, for my .Net initiation

Another new addition is the Internet Live Update Function plus several small enhancements and corrections.

My thanks again to the guys at MAIW and AIG for their great beta testing and support.

I've been trying to install 2.1.18, but I get an error part way through. When it gets to extracting ASToFra.objecteditor.dll, that's when I get the error. An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory: MoveFile failed; code 2. The system cannot find the file specified. Then I get the choise of abort, retry or ignore. If I choose ignore, it continues, but when I run it the model viewer doesn't work. Just looks like it's working then gives another error. I'm running win 7 pro 64bit. ver 2.0.8 loads and works, but it doesn't have the viewer.

Thanks for a very useful program, Martin. I'll look for the update.

Can you try to install into an empty folder? I discussed with Martin and we guess you are installing into a non empty folder.

John, I have never seen this before, so it is a bit guesswork. Aside from the empty folder trick, where are you trying to install it to? Have you changed the path to point to the C:\Program Files structure? Also try run the setup as Administrator.

Hi,
I got the same error, but I could blame it on my Antivir software "Avast".
It likes to catch and eat "ASToFra.objecteditor.dll"

After disabling Avast for some minutes, I could install AI Aircraft Editor 2.1.8

Oh so true, Guenther. Yes, this happens a lot with many DLLs and AV programs . Normally there should be an indication that the AV has blocked something.
