AutogenConfigurationMerger Not Installed?

[catplace]

In AutogenConfigurationMerger.log, I see this:

Code: Select all

5:42:03 PM | AutogenConfigurationMerger 1.0.6391.34614
5:42:03 PM | Starting install of EXE for FS version Prepar3Dv4

   at ASToFra.AutogenConfigurationMerger.AutogenConfigurationMerger..ctor(String[] args)


I can't find AutogenConfigurationMerger.exe in any folder, and there's rather a lot of default autogen in Tahiti.

Is the installer not installing AutogenConfigurationMerger correctly? Can this be fixed, or can I install it manually?

Thanks!

Can you post a screenshot of the autogen.

Check the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SceneryDesign.org\AutogenConfigurationMerger. What is the path of the install folder?

Thanks (again) for your quick reply!

That registry entry doesn't indicate an install folder, but only a Version (1.0.6391.34614). If an install folder should have been indicated there, perhaps that didn't happen because the installation failed.

The actual installation folder appears to be "C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\SceneryDesign.org\AutogenConfigurationMerger". This only contains AutogenConfigurationMerger.log and a backup1 folder.

I've attached a couple of screenshots. If there are better locations that should show off your custom autogen, let me know and I'll resubmit.

Download the autogen config merger from here:

http://www.scenerydesign.org/latest-rel ... Merger.zip

Save the exe file to a folder then start the command prompt.

Type in the drive your folder is on, for example -> d: then press enter.

install the tool by typing -> d:\the_folder_you_saved_it_to\autogenconfigurationmerger.exe install and press enter. You should get a window pop up asking you what version of P3D to install to.

Run P3D once, then close and restart. See if the autogen is installed or not.

When trying "AutogenConfigurationMerger.exe install" (from the correct folder), no popup appeared. AutogenConfigurationMerger.log became:

I then tried "AutogenConfigurationMerger.exe install p3dv4". AutogenConfigurationMerger.log became:

The null value seems to be the common factor.

The scenery was no different in the sim.

Try deleting all registry entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SceneryDesign.org\AutogenConfigurationMerger and try the installation again.

Thanks; that was it! You're amazing.

I gather that AutogenConfigurationMerger isn't removed on uninstallation (and I can understand why this would be problematic). However, this may result in subsequent reinstallations failing. I can't think of an elegant solution. Perhaps a 'force' option during uninstallation or reinstallation? FAQ?
