New Client v1.1.3 doesn't work under w2000

Post by COA4593 » Sun Jan 04, 2009 3:48 pm

Hello, I've installed this new version, but my operating system is windows 2000 sp4, and I get this message " error in Kernel32.dll cannot find Releaseactctx". Because of other reasons I can not change my operating System now. Is there a posibility, or a service pack to do this client work?.Thank you

hm, Releaseactctx is a function needed for the SimConnect Interface. You could tell the Client always to use FSUIPC by editing the fsairlines.ini in your client's folder:

Code: Select all

[login]
...
[settings]
...
FSInterface=FSUIPC

Thanks konny for your prompt, but I’m afraid it doesn’t work either. The problem must be with the new compilation of fsairlines.exe, because when I execute it, the program stops giving the message that cannot find an enter point to the procedure Releaseactctx in my kernel32.dll. I had no problems with version 1.0.4. anyway thank you for all.

Ok, you're right, a quick look into the documentation would have told everything:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx
Here it says that Windows XP or Vista is required.

I don't know if there's a Service Pack for Win2k which adds this function to the kernel32.dll but that's an issue we have to think about for future releases. Meanwhile I made you a client release without the SimConnect-functions:
