I've been trying to install SbuilderX on my new PC with no success. FSX and the SDK are both installed in a non default location C/Games/.... . When I try to run SBuilderX after the install I get these messages:

First this one.
"FSX could not be found on this computer"

Then this one.
"ImageTool, Shp2Vec, Resample & BGLComp do not exist in the..\SBuilder\Tools folder and the Terrain SDK could not be found in this computer! Some BGL files can not be generated!"

And finally I get this message before SBuilderX shuts down.
"Could not find file '301b2su1.bmp.
Void FileCopy(System.String, System.String).......
......and on and on.

I also tried re-installing on my old PC with the same results.


Any ideas folks?

Chuck,

If the SBX install can't find FSX then you can try the Flight1 Registry Repair Tool http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library to fix the registry entry for FSX path.

Or in SBX goto Edit>FSX Settings, and use the browse buttons to set the FSX.exe path and the path to the various SDK assets required.

Thanks for the reply, Dave. I tried the registry repair tool and it did not work.
Editing settings from inside SBX is impossible for me. The program never opens. When i run SBX I get the above string of error messages and then when I click "OK" the errors close and nothing else happens.

Chuck,

Dunno?? Before responding to your post, I installed SBX for the first time to a new system I built awhile back. FSX and the SDK are installed to non-default locations. My os is Windows 7, 64 bit.

I downloaded the SBX installer from here: http://www.ptsim.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=40&Itemid=18.

No problems or errors installing SBX and it appears to be working properly. I installed SBX to a non-default location to avoid the Win7 'security' problems associated with installing to the default ...\Programs(x86)\.. location. 

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to uninstall SBX from 'Control Panel>Uninstall a Program' and then install again using the .msi installer  from the above link.

Thanks, Dave 8-) 8-) 8-)

Apparently I had a corrupted installer or it was outdated. SBX installed and is working ;)

Great!!   :D
