Install prob HELP!!

[LukeJGerst]

I downloaded the trial version for personal testing reasons, installed the program, and started FS. The opening screen came up and
another window came up that said: Fspassengers BAD error! There is a folder in Modules that is named FSpassengers.dll, close Flight
Simulator and delete it before you restart Flight Simulator. Fspassengers will now open the Module folder for you. I deleted the
file and closed down Flight Simulator. Then I restarted Flight Simulator and started a flight. The FSP menu didn't appear on the menu bar!
I figured that this was because I deleted the file, so I restored it and restarted the entire computer. It still didn't show up in the bar, even
though I had installed the program and I could open some options from the Start menu. What do I do?

I'm running a Win98 offline from the web.

Maybe you should uninstall all and install it all over again.

Check if the unistall proceed well:

All the files are in the FSpassenger folder except for "fspassengers.dll" which is the the modules folder of FS9.

None of those files should remain after uninstall.

hope it help...

I thought I only clicked Install once. I'll see what can be done!

I unistalled and reistalled the program, restarted FS, and got this error window:

Title: FSpassengers BAD Error!!!

Text: BAD ERROR you have a renamed copy of FsPassengers.dll on Modules folder that is named FSPASSENGERS.DLL.

FsP will now shut doan this bad instance. Please exit now Fs2004 and delete this wrond DLL from Modules folder before relaunching
Fs2004.

FsP will now open for you the Modules folder.

I looked in the Modules folder and there was no FSPASSENGERS.DLL! There was only FsPassengers.dll!

Now that we have the problem, what's the answer?

[LukeJGerst]

Eh? Moving on to the other threads now, trying to get rid of personal impatience!

[pagir]

Other than capitalization, I can't see the difference between your two fspassengers.dll.

Delete it and delete any module related to Fspassengers and delete the "Fspassengers folder" manually.

check again in modules. Nothing should be related to FsPassengers.

Try a brand new install..

Just to be sure, try to install a fresh copy of FsPassengers (i.e. download it again)


GOOOD luck!

let him know.

Make sure you have a FOLDER called FsPassengers in the FS0 directory, in which are various folders and files (the referenceed files of the .dll). Make
sure you DON'T find this folder as a sub-folder of the Modules directory. THEN, within the Modules directory, remove any file whose first three
letters or three letters "anywhere" in the filename EXCEPT for your one file, FsPassengers.dll (spelling makes no difference, but that's the correct
spelling of the .dll), which should remain in the Modules folder.

That's the correct setup. Ensure it works. If not, report back and we'll get into more specifics in trying to resolve the issue.

Thanks,

I don't think I understand what you mean by three letters?

I'll soon update a patch for win98 user....

stay in touch....
