• 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.

Problem with Resample

Does anyone know if .net 4.0 will work for the SDK tools? I thought that since it was a newer version, everything would work OK, but I can't get Resample to function. I have the SDK service packs installed, Visual C, MSXML, etc. This is on a new PC, and .inf files that will run on Resample on the old PC will not go on the new one. What am I missing?
 
Resample is 32-bit machine code... not .NET, so the net version has nothing to do with it. Run resample in a command box ( DOS box ) and it will preserve the errors.

Here's the command prompt message. It just says it can't create the output file. Everything works fine on the old PC, which is running XP, with identical .inf and .bmp files. I checked the instructions elsewhere in the forum to make sure I've installed everything required to make the SDK work. The new machine has:

MSXML 4.0 SP2 and SP3
.Net 4.0
VCredist v. x86 9.0.30729.4148
SDK SP2

The new PC runs Windows 7 64 bit version

Try moving Resample and the source files to some place other than \Program Files (86) and see if it compiles.

It appears the protections built into Vista and Win7 are trying to protect you from creating a file you could make under XP.

So much trouble in the world could be solved if people never installed into the \Program Files(X) folders of Vista and Win7...
 
Alternatively, rightclick resample and select "Run as Admin"

Turn UAC off.

This does indeed look like a permissions error.
 
Change the "Destination" in the .inf file to a folder other than "Program files".
 
Resample problem solved

Thanks to everyone for their responses. Turning off UAC fixed it. I'm a newbie to Windows 7 and UAC, having made the jump directly from XP. I'm still getting used to some of the differences. I find these differences to be rather puzzling at times.
 
It is trying to protect your Program files from tampering or alteration ... which is a function I find more annoying than helpful.
