Prepar3D Forums

I have just found the remaining things from visual studio


Alex

Those two are the ones you have to pay for, I think.

Then you should have what I have, and still getting the error.......

Now, here's a long shot, but you never know:

When you run Windows Update, under Advanced options in Update, is the switch "Receive updates for other Microsoft products" set to On?

Jorgen

Also I am installing the remainder of Visual Studio


Alex

I have tried everything with no success, I am going to uninstall P3D and delete my current installer and get a new installer



Alex

I have just learned that I have Windows 10 Educational do you think this may be the cause?


Alex

I don't really think so that the Educational version is a problem, as long as it is up to v. 2004.

When you reinstall, remember to run the installer as Administrator, and install outside the default location - on the first screen of the installation, hit Options, and install to something like C:\P3D. Better even if you can install to a different drive.

Jorgen

I didn't run the installer as admin I will re install as admin...


Alex

I have done what you said I should and it is unsuccessful once again :(


Alex

Same issue, or what do you have in Event Viewer now?

Jorgen

Same Thing...

This is what I got in the logs

Alex

This is a new one for me... pid.dll error.

Try this command, run from a command prompt:

sfc /scannow

This will check for damaged files and repair them.

Jorgen

will do



Alex

Just installed the new downloader and that did not work, I feel we are out of option and I would like a refund


Alex

UPDATE P3D RANDOMLY OPENED

[UPDATE] it crashed 1 minute later and hasn't opened since


Alex

I have found the cause of the update! my joystick doesn't run with P3D

Thanks for your time,


Alex
