    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSX Steam

Old system died today so I had to get a new one. Tried to install FSX Steam and get a"side by side" error when trying to start it. Never had this with Windows 7. Ihave tried everything I could find online to no avail. Anyone here have any ideas?

Did I say Windows 10 sucks. I set up system as I liked it, then updates happened and everything I had done was erased. Love it...NOT.
 
Yes when my son 'upgraded' me from W8.1 to W 10 a couple of months ago I had side by side errors. Eventually traced to back to a Microsoft visual 2005 C++Redistributal - x64. There are two with the same title but one is 6.88 MB & the other is 6.83 MB, I have both installed, & I cannot remember which one worked, (think it was the larger). Sorry cannot be more help ) There is a forum covering it but it does not complete the story, although I did put a comment on it - sorry again can't remember where it was!
Good luck & hope this helps you.

Thank you! Thank you! It was indeed Microsoft visual 2005 C++Redistributal - x64 and Microsoft visual 2005 C++Redistributal - x32 (both need to be installed}. Several online links were dead, but one site said to look in the various install directories and yes, I found all of them in one of the install directories and ran them all. Two had not been installed and when the others offered to repair the install I clicked that option. All is working now.
