Correct XMLTools Syntax

[falcon409]

I have a requirement that XMLTools be loaded in FSX to allow some gauges to function correctly. I have installed XMLTools. . .the dll is in the main FSX folder and the entry was automatically added to the dll.xml file. I noticed that the path was not correct (actually it simply said<path>) so I typed in the correct path so it could locate the required dll file.

When I load FSX and am asked if I want to run that dll, I click yes and FSX then CTD. Below is the way it is entered in the dll.xml file:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>E:\Program Files\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\XMLTools.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

Is there something missing or typed incorrectly?

Thanks!

Fixed with assistance from one of our members.

Any chance you can describe how it was fixed?

This may be something specific to my system, however every time I would load the Sim I would get the question about "Running it" and also do I want to make it a "trusted module". I would click yes for both and it would ask the same question again. . .Geeeze YES already!! lol

After that it would crash to the desktop. Even after that first go around. . .every time I loaded the Sim I got the same questions even though it was already listed in the "TRUSTED" section of the config file. The "fix" was to answer the question once and when it asked again if you wanted to "Run" I clicked no and everything was fine. However I still, after numerous loadings of the Sim. . .have to go through the same stuff all over again. A bit irritating.

Ed,

Here is my xml entry as made from the installer, note the path, it is relative from the FSX.exe. (in the same folder/directory)
Another thing you could do is to find and remove the xmltools.dll entry(s) in the fsx.cfg under the [Trusted] section. Basically starting from scratch.
Hopefully this isn't the new steam beta, because it is recompiled all memory addresses have changed.
The .dll probably won't work unless you got an updated version.
