• 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,

It seems MSXML4 is not installed on your machine, that will give this error.

Hi Arno,

MSXML4 was installed. I installed SP3 earlier this month and LC was working. I just uninstalled and resintalled MSXML SP3 and am still getting the same error message. The screen shot shows what's in my syswow64 folder.

Arno, I just tried the LibraryMaker program that comes with Instant Scenery, and it worked. Still no luck with LibraryCreatorXML though.

Never mind. I manually added msxml4.dll to the registry and now Library Creator is working.

[NOTE: The following rant is not in any way directed to anyone here.]

Why do I have to manually register part of a Microsoft program that I installed under Microsoft's most current operating system using Microsoft's installer? And I was lucky that I stumbled on directions for manually registering dlls...otherwise I'd be up the proverbial sh*t creek. I bought my first PC around 1980, and more than 30 years later I have to go through this stupid crap? What the hell do they expect an inexperienced computer user to do? I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE WINDOWS. Flight Simulator is the only reason I still have to use it. :mad:

I wish I could say I feel better now, but I don't.
