• 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.

When attempting to compile in SceneProc, I get the following error:

An unexpected error occured during running your configuration

Error:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

I am attempting to compile a SHP into Polygon Veg AG. I tried the various fixes described in the following thread, but to no avail:

I have Windows 7 64bit, but I am not sure if my copy of MS Office 2007 is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott
 
Thanks Arno, that was it! Apparently I do have the 32bit version of Office, which gave me the error when installing the Access Engine so I had to use the command line workaround described in the Wiki.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to command line stuff so I had to do a little reading to figure it out. For all you other command line noobs out there, this is how you work it:

1. Open Command Prompt by clicking the Start button and in the search bar at the bottom, type "Command Prompt" and click on the program at the top. A DOS-style command prompt window opens.
2. You need to change the directory to the location of AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe, which you should have previously downloaded. To do that, type 'CD' followed by the directory, and hit Enter. For example, my entry looked like this since the file is located in my Downloads folder:

CD C:\Users\Scott\Downloads
Click to expand...

3. When you have successfully changed the directory, type in the line Arno described in the Wiki to run the installer in passive mode:

AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe /passive
Click to expand...

4. Hit Enter and the Access Database Engine should install successfully.
