Windows 7 and FSP?

[obwan]

Problem Solved - Maybe......
I installed .NET Framework 3.5 and all of a sudden FSPax works like a dream - I have been testing it for the last 3 nights without any
issues or crashes and it launches first time everytime.
Now I have since removed the .NET Framework to confirm that it was that but FSpax continues to work even after I uninstalled .NET
Framework. That's not to say it was'nt that though as uninstalling apps does'nt remove all files/reg entries etc.. which could explain it.

The next step for me will be to reinstall my entire O/S replicate the fault - install .NET Framework 3.5SP1 and confirm it was that.

In the mean time, It would be usefull if one of the guys "on the inside" could get Dan to confirm whether what I did could have resolved the
error or whether it was just a fluke(which I doubt).

Cheers

If you can replicate the issue as a .NET one, I don't think any of the "insiders" would be much help Let us know what you find out through
your troubleshooting. If you are definitely certain that it's a FsPX problem and not some other program or software issue, I'll forward this to
Dan.

OK - Last night I reloaded my entire O/S from scratch(Formated my drive as well).
Installed all the latest Windows Updates
Installed my AV software(Viper)
Nothing else.
Installed FSX as per normal(FSX;run;reboot - FSXSP1;run;reboot - FSXSP2;run;reboot - RUN FSX - no problem)
Installed FSPax - start FSX - NOGO - All I see is the FSX Splash screen - Reboot;same thing.
Reinstall FSPax - same thing - only splash screen - no sound, nothing further - remove FSPax = FSX starts 100%.

Install .NET Framework 3.5(From control Panel / Program & Features / Turn Win Features on/off) - launch FSX 100%.
Now I would hardly say two tests like this is conclusive but I am confident enough that this will work everytime for me that I am going to
buy FSPax as I doubt I'll have any further issues.

I'm no programmer but I guess this is a .Net application, so maybe Dan can shed some light on the matter, I don't see this as a work
around as many apps require .Net Framework. This could also explain why it works for some and not others as it does not install by
default.

Also, as I said before, I can now remove the .Net Framework and it will continue to work without any issue.

So just to recap - this fixed my issue where:After installing FSPax all you see is the splash screen and don't hear any sounds.
