FSAirlinesV1-6a doesn't work but V1-0a does?

[A319CJ]

Hi Guys,

After many months of not using Flynet / FSairlines I thought I would give it a go again as I had major problems when I got my Vista machine and just stopped using the client.
Today I thought I would give it ago and downloaded the links in the this discussion to see if I could fix the 'Side-by-Side Config' problem.
I installed the links and tried opening the 'FSAirlinesV1-6a' version of the client which still gives the error. but to my amazement the older version 'FSAirlinesV1-0a' works and when I try log in gives me a out of date error asking to update to the up to date version of the client.

What I did I haven't a clue, but if any one knows what is up with it would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

This may have something to do with your using VISTA. Did you ensure that you had properly installed the drivers referenced in the "Known Problems" thread?

Otherwise, this will have to be handled by Claudio who is out of town until next weekend.

hi, this side-by-side configuration problem is vista related (I myself use Vista Premium, both 32 and 64 bit) and has something to do that you need to install the correct microsoft runtimes in order to run this program.

The problem (which I assume) is that the V1-0a was written using Visual Studio 2005 and the newest versions are written using Visual Studio 2008. So you might want to install the Visual C++ 2008 Runtime from the microsoft page. See those links:

Visual C++ 2008 Runtimes:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en (for 32 bit machines)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en (for 64 bit machines)

It would be nice to hear a feedback if this worked or not.

cheers DaKurt

ok, then it might not be related to the operating system. It might just require this runtime. I hope it will fix the problem...
