• 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.

FS2004 SBuilder run time error

Sbuilder will not start on my machine. Windows 8.1 x64. I get a "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range" dialog before anything appears on my screen.
 
There should be a new 64-bit version of SBuilderX available quite soon. This should take care of these types of problems.

Considering SBuilderX seems to be FSX-only and I have no intention of ever purchasing or using FSX, I guess I'm pretty much out of luck.
 
Ok, how do I install it? I downloaded it and when I double-clicked on it gave me a popup asking me where to place the extracted files and it gave me yet another self extracting .exe, I ran that, it showed a bunch of progress bars before I got multiple windows 8 dialogs telling me they all "might not have installed correctly." I tried the compatibility settings thingy, still got the same popups.
 
All I can say is SBuilder 2.05 needs the VB runtimes, as it was written in vb6.0. I'm not familiar with Windows 8

Hello:

You should be able to get the VB6 Run-times to work with Windows-8 according to this MSDN Blog:

Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows 8

Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time Files Support:

Visual Basic 6.0
IIRC, the above Microsoft VB6 installers do register the various components with the Windows OS without having to manually register them via REGSRV32 (and presumably also reducing risk for confusing errors ...as discussed in this thread):

Hope this helps ! :)

Ok, I've been able to install properly and got the vb6 installs to work. Thus, no more subscript out of range errors. Thanks for the help with that part. :)

A new issue though, is that it refuses to compile. I've made my edits to my terrain classes, but all the check boxes except the "start fs9" box are greyed out. Did I miss something?

You need to select items in the main window's menu to 'ungrey' them.
