• 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.

Win 10, Desktop
FSX Accel. new installation - SP1a and SP2
ADE 170 new installation - used installer
Environment Checker needs 'Set ADE Path' manually when it is opened - then Green OK for FSX
Version shown 1.70.6029.20466 but NO tick for Reg Key or file found.
FSX Reg key and file found OK
.NET 2, 3 & 3.5 OK
MSXML 3, 4 & 6 OK

Basic R/W and apron entered and saved.
When I tried to compile message was:-

Compiler Errors Found. These were not identified by the Issue Manager. Please let us know

what the compiler error is so that we can improve the Issue Manager.

The compiler message is shown below

ScruffyDuck Scenery Design Engine Compiling

Using BglComp....

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154)

Parsing document: C:\MSFS170\!AdeTempWorkOnly\LFIS_ADEX_LH.xml

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2430: Unrecoverable error parsing XML!

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)

INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: #C2003: Failed to process file: C:\Users\Patrick\Documents\ADE 171\!AdeTempWorkOnly\LFIS_ADEX_LH.xml

Tried it with existing airfields, result the same.

Probably not relevant - I'm not a Tech man
Had to set up a new User Account to be able to load FSX - error1628 (all over the internet if interested)
ADE 1.65 running OK with FS9 on other Account C:\MSFS\FS Design Tools... Installed in a different folder to 1.71 C:\MSFS170..

Living in hope!! Laurie H
 
Thanks Jon, I had already done that, but I deleted and tried again.
I have read just about every thread on the subject and the solution given involves work on the registry, which seems to be my problem too.
I was wrong in claiming that FS9 and ADE 1.65 were working!
With my limited knowledge I am reluctant to meddle with the registry, regedit is about my limit, so it looks as if I need professional help.
The story of my life!
I use CCCleaner, but not on the registry. Would that be of any help?
cheers Laurie
 
Jon,
Having read the post by "acueil" for the umpteenth time I realised that it did not involve going in to the register.
There not being much Rugby on TV at the weekend, I dived in and am pleased to say that the Compiler is now working!!
Glad to see that you have made the solution by "acueil" sticky as it would appear that we are not alone.

I couldn't imagine life without ADE.

Thank you Laurie
 
I am pleased that you have fixed it. ☺️
