• 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.

Hello,

I am buidling a program that connects to Simconnect in vb.net.
I have checked the program and it works great in my Windows XP PC>.
When I copy it to my laptop (Vista OS) i'm getting the microsoft's error report (send \ don't send window) immediately after I execute the EXE.

I wan't to add that in the XP OS the program works great! So after I got this error I made some try and error tests to see which line in-code makes it.
The line that result the error:

Code: 
fsx_simconnect = Nothing

this is how fsx_simconnect variable is declared:

Code: 
Dim fsx_simconnect As SimConnect

any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
 
Ido,

I'm not sure what the problem is and here are a few ideas in case you haven't gone beyond this yet:

a) Do you see any dependency issues on your Vista box when you run your program? (use dependency walker to load your program and see if any libraries are missing). dependencywalker.com

b) You have verified you have the proper simconnect configuration files on the laptop and the FS server to set both the port number and the protocol to use between machines? The port is unblocked?

c) The version of simconnect on the client is the same, or older than the version of FSX running on the server? You can for example use the SP1 client to connect to an SP2 server, but not vice versa. For example, you cannot use the ESP client for an SP2 FSX server - you will get a version error when you get data although you can initially connect to retrieve the server's version number.

All the above may cause a connection problem.
