P3D v3 [SOLVED] dll.xml could not be read

[jjbld]

Hi,

SODE v 1.3.2 had stopped working.

When I launch SODE Platform Manager (as administrator), I get this message :

I have FSX installed too and I get no errors when registering.

I have tried a clean install of SODE and let P3D regenerate dll.xml but it doesn't help.

I can't understand what's wrong with registration because dll.xml content seems OK :

dll.xml (C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="dll">
<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
<Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SODE Animation Module</Name>
<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjectAnimationModule.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

exe.xml (C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="3,0" id="exe">
<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SODE</Name>
<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjectDisplayEngine.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>P3Dv3</CommandLine>
</SimBase.Document>

and SODE.log

Any help would be appreciated !

Jeffrey,

I have spent many hours trying to solve the problem (new P3D v3.2 install, new SODE install ...) but I always get the same message when registering P3D with SODE.

I have noticed that exe.xml and dll.xml path displayed by SODE Platform Manager has a typo : these files are located in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3.

Do you think it has anything to do with my problem ?

Best regards

No, filenames are case insensitive.

Hi Jacques,

Sorry for the late reply, just returned from my holidays.
I quoted the portion which doesn't look right to me: There is a closing tag "</Launch.Addon>" missing after "</CommandLine>

For Prepar3Dv3, the SODEPlatformManager does not edit the files directly, but uses the native Prepar3D.exe to register external modules. I only pass the path to my module and Prepar3D.exe should write the correct entries.

Thank you Jeffrey, all is ok now.

I certainly remove this line accidentally when editing the exe.xml.

I'm sorry, I really need to buy a better pair of glasses !
