• 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.

Missing Runtime files

Hi ,
I can't start Objectplacer XML since a month now. I tried uninstall and reinstall but nothing. I get this error that there are missing these runtime files :

However when I checked on c:\Windows\System32\ directory all those files where there :confused:

The fact is that I didn't use Object placer for a month now but It worked just fine before.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
 
Hi Andrew,

That is kind of weird. The code is using the environment variable that determines where you windows is installed to find the system32 folder. Could it be that something has changed there?

how can I find if the environmental variable is pointing to the wrong folder ?
 
You can check it in your environment variables. Right click on "My Computer" and select the properties. Then the "Advanced" tab and on there there is a button called "Environment variables". In the list of the system variables you should see one named windir which should give your Windows folder (normally this is C:\Windows of course).

Could you check if that one is set OK on your system? And have you done anything to your OS recently that might have changed this?

Yeah that was the issue. There was no windir variable imposted! now it works fine :)
I don't have the foggiest idea what happened... Got to be something I did in the month I didn't use ObjectPlacer.
 
OK, glad to hear this problem has been solved :).
