Problem with FsPassengersX 2015 ? Please read here !

[SamTDS]

Good Evening Gentleman,

I have exactly the same problem like FSXSplash. I'm using FSX:SE since NOV last year and FSPax worked perfectly fine. Now I was updating my (PMDG!! Navdata) and from that moment FsPassengers stopped working with the same error that Fssplash posted some months above 

http://prntscr.com/a65ov4

So far I have tried:
*Reinstall latest Version of FsPax
*Restore old Navdata (just to make sure)
*Compatible Mode Settings:
-Run as Admin
-Deactivate Scaling with high DPI Values
-Compatible Mode with Windows 7 (I realised sometimes this one fixes some general FSX-Problems)


Here is my FSPXInstall.log:

Of course I did search with Google before posting this and I found a post from last year someone had to remove specific registration keys to get it running (you'd have to repeat this every 1-2 flight). I would prefer a more longterm solution and since there was an update that should have fixed it in january, I'm looking forward to solving this with your help. I'd like to say again: FSPX was working fine for me before the update, after the jan-update and just stopped working today with above mentioned error message.

Best Regards,

EDIT1:
The Problem solved itself just like it appeared.. Without me (knowing) to have changed anything.
However this is what I tried:

Start FSX from Steam Icon (created by installation - no compatible mode changes possible), the error occured, I clicked YES. When using the fsx.exe shortcut which I used before, FSX crashed to desktop then. Now it didn't. After starting up a flight, I could use the old shortcut again. Everything works well. I could reload my DB-Backup, still working.

It seems to work now for me again, without really having a clue what was going on. People with more IT-Skills than I have, might be able to give a solution on the details that are going on in the background.

So far from my side

Always blue skies, good evening to you

next time it happens send us over the log.txt then we can see if fsx is even choosing to run the dll
