• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi Jon, when I try to compile I get the following error:

Compiler Errors Found. These were not identified by the Issue Manager. Please let us know
what the compiler error is so that we can improve the Issue Manager.

The compiler message is shown below

ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine Compiling
Using BglComp....

What's the word re: ADE on Windows 8.1? I've been getting this error too, with the exact same error code numbers as in the OP. And yes, MSXML is indeed installed. I downloaded and ran the ADE9X Environment Checker, and everything appeared red; I went ahead and clicked the button to fix the path to FS9, but I had to manually locate ADE itself, and the Version fields were blank or labeled as N/A.

I did notice the absence of XML5. Do I need that as well? Even with this, Environment Checker still gave the Green light for ADE. If needed, I am willing to send the log.tx1 file.
 
The Environment Checker does not work properly with 1.60 or later. It was last updated for 1.55. As far as I know ADE works fine with Windows 8.1 - I think there are quire a few folks here using it now,

The version of MSXML that is required for the MS Compilers is 4 with SP3. You may need the others for some applications but not for ADE and the Microsoft Compilers. Please email me the log to jon AT scruffyduck DOT co DOT uk.
 
Hmmm. I don't know what else to try. I am using the latest updates, and I'm still getting the errors. The about dialog is as follows:

Code: 
Versions:

   Application 01.61.5220.24064
   Engine      04.61.5218.17741

EDIT: I looked around in the folder I"m compiling to, and noticed that after selecting the AFCAD option in Extended Compile, I have noticed the creation of 4 .xml files, but no .bgl files. Is this to be expected in this type of error?

Can you please send me the log again - this sounds like something different.
 
Sent. I'm gonna try updating my DirectX as well, see if that helps.

EDIT: Nope. I did notice however, that for some reason, my computer recognizes my installation of FS9 as FS9.0, even though I installed the 9.1 patch. I looked for it in regedit, and it indeed shows up as 9.0. I ran CCleaner multiple times but it failed to catch anything. I know someone used a registry cleaner to solve a similar problem, but it was payware, and I avoid those like the bubonic plague.

OK - does this happen with all airports you try to compile? Are you using the regular File > Compile or File > Extended Compile? Try Right Clicking ADE and using Run As Administrator. Do you have EditVoicePak installed?
 
Would that be VPEdit.exe under ...\FS2004SDK\ATC_Voicepack_SDK\ by any chance? Because I do have that one installed. And yes, it happens to all airports, including when Run as Administrator.
 
Is ADE installed inside any Program Files folder? If so, try uninstalling it and installing outside that.
 
I never installed it there in the first place. :p

Anyways, Uninstalling the ATC Voicepack SDK fixed the compile issue, especially after I noticed it had its own msxml4.dll file in it. So the compilers now work correctly.

Thank you for the help, it is appreciated!
 
EditVoicePak is the killer unfortunately - it supplies a version of MSXML 4 (which it probably shouldn't) and that gets used instead of the generally available one. I have updated the article about this error on the on-line help to include a reference to EditVoicePak
 
That makes sense then; I saw that part in the 4-page thread (or somewhere here), but was hoping that wouldn't apply to my situation. Again, thank you for the help!
 
Wait, one of you is talking about the ATC Voicepack SDK and one about EditVoicePack. Which has the problem, or is it both?
