FSX Can't Get SBuilderX to Work

[lingyuan.he]

Hi,

I am having a bunch of problems when trying to run SBuilderX. I have looked into the previous posts, found nothing similar.

First Warning:

Second:

Third:

A final one, after that the program crashed(although I see the background of it!):

I am using Win7 64, these are the paths.

FSX at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
SDK at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK
SBuilder at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\SBuilderX

I have tried installing Sbuilder at C:\SBuilderX , doesn't work.

Any help appreciated.

I'm using Win7 64 and received none of the errors you show. I also did not install FSX, the SDKs nor SbuilderX into the protected \Program Files (x86) folder structure.

It's your computer, of course, but I would look to uninstall both the SDKs and SBuilderX and then reinstall them into some other, non-protected folder, such as C:\FSXwork\, C:\FSXwork\SDKs and C:\FSXwork\SBuilderX.

I believe then that you will see the error messages disappear.

FSX at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

SBuilder at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\SBuilderX

Any help appreciated.

Hi Lance:

I don't work with SBuilderX very often, but I've never encountered those types of errors with SBuilder either (...although on my Win7 64-bit computer, my installation is on the D: drive letter).

I'm wondering, if this might be a newly built computer and the OP may not yet have had to set his decimal separator from "," to "." to accommodate software that uses the 'North American' decimal separator character ?


Also, would there be anything he might wish to check in his SBuilder.ini file ?


PS: I saw a few hits for some of these errors on Google:

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=SBuilderX+globally+exception&oq=SBuilderX+globally+exception&gs_l=hp.12..0i30.1093.7686.1.10124.20.4.0.16.16.0.266.736.0j2j2.4.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.5.psy-ab.iWxykS8cAiE&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.43148975,d.b2I&fp=b52269109b105944&biw=853&bih=583


In particular, this thread seems to address more of the OP's scenario:

The latter part of the explanation in the above post by Rhumbaflappy regarding conversion of FSX default BMP files seems to infer the possibility that SBuilderX may not be finding the path to the FSX install folder chain (...could it be that FSX is not installed properly, or its Windows Registry entry is missing ?)
