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?

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

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=4....

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.

Apparently I had a corrupted installer or it was outdated.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