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.

If you have FS installed in the default folder under Vista or Win 7 then it is subject to User Access Control (UAC). This is designed to stop programs writing to these folders. If that is the case then try running SBuilderX as Administrator

Try running your .inf through resample using the command line prompt. That way you can get an idea of the error that shows up without the window disappearing.

Umm... of the top of my head...
go to start then Run and type in "cmd"
in the command prompt type in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Terrain SDK\resample.exe path_to_your_inf\myinf.inf." (change the parts in red to suit you).
Here is an example script I wrote (just cause I hate typing the same thing over and over again) that will automate the process for you.
Just pop that in notepad and save it as .cmd. 
go to start then Run and type in "cmd"
in the command prompt type in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Terrain SDK\resample.exe path_to_your_inf\myinf.inf." (change the parts in red to suit you).

Please read this entire post before trying anything. Its not too long, but failing to do so may confuse.
To copy and paste the file location, locate the inf file, right click, select properties.
where it says location, click and highlight the Location address. CTRL+C will copy it. CTRL+P will paste in notepad.
Do the same for the resample.exe file. there are both locations in front of you, no typing required- eliminating typo's.
follow MOUSY's instructions to rearrange the string to that layout.
To open CMD/Command Prompt click START, select RUN, type CMD (or start, select all programs- accessories- Command Prompt is cmd.exe)
Then type the green text no-modification, and replace the red text with your 2 locations copied and pasted. You can copy and paste into CMD, see below for instructions on this.
/k C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Terrain SDK\resample.exe---C:\Where\Ever\this\file\is\located\test.inf. (NOTICE: The multiple BLACK dashes --- indicated 1 press of the space bar. Just one space between the 2 locations.) and press enter. If it doesnt work, then it wasnt typed correctly and a space may be missing or too many or a slash should be a backslash or vise-versa.
for a backslash problem, see below.
in notepad, press ALT+92 on numpad is the backslash, thats an alternate.
START then RUN, type OSK and your on screen keyboard will allow a backslash.
or you can use the character map, START then RUN, type CHARMAP scroll and look for the backslash\reverse solidus, u+005C is the unicode (c3)
Note: Sometimes, depending on operating system, the CTRL P paste function doesnt work in command prompt. It will show ^P instead of what you have copied. If that is the case, you should be able to right click and select paste. Its easier to get it all in the right order in notepad before doing it into CMD.
To run CMD in Admin mode, go to start, select all programs- accessories- right click on Command Prompt and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. (should not be required for a simple resample run.) Be careful not to go messing around in cmd admin if you dont know what you are doing. CMD admin mode allows more functions and changes than regular user CMD mode, thus allowing the curious user who knows-not-what-he-do to really mess up his system. However none of these are as powerful as the hidden admin mode (Ive said too much!)
