Cannot load simconnect.dll #3

Closed Gamma36 closed 2 years ago

Gamma36 commented 2 years ago

Crash dump below. Looks like you need to rebuild as there may be a later version of .Net on my PC

regards Paul

The solution appears to be installing VC_redist.x64.exe and then rebooting.

Using Dependencies.exe Fleck.dll is the problem.

However, the CDU will not detect FS2020 on my home network. It is running with PMDG 737-600 loaded on the runway.

I'm a retired C++ developer, I think editing 737_Options.ini is too difficult for the average user. I suggest an installation program to run on the host sim, to enable network connections.

Whatever I do the app will not connect to FS2020 across my home network.

Gamma36 commented 2 years ago

This message should not be displayed on the networked client (my laptop). It is fundamentally misleading as 737_Options.ini only exists on the server PC running FS2020 (a desktop PC)

What is not clear is that the installation paragraph in the user guide does not explicitly say the product CANNOT be run on the client, for example a laptop.

I suggest you modify the user guide to tell the user "Download the ZIP file to the PC that has FS2020 installed. Extract the zip file......etc"

I downloaded it to my laptop and it failed. You should check for an FS2020 install in FergoCDU.exe, to eliminate running on a network client. An installer (not unzip) could search for FS2020, if not found warn the user.
