Hi to all,
I just recieved my 0/16/16 Interface Kit, which I would like to use with the Fs2Phidgets software and FS2004.
Now I have a problem getting the thing working:
First problem - It took me quite a while to get FS2Phidget working, because, following the default installation process, it would install itself into the "Programme" folder on C:\ (Win XP, Update 2, German Edition). Finally I found out that I have to manually change the installation path to "progam files" to get the software started. Otherwise I would get a "Runtime Error 76, path not found" message. The program would start, but the tabs would stay gray.
Now, I was not sure where to put the "phidget.msi", since it would, by default, install itself into the"Programme" folder too. Finally I ended up installing it into both folders manually.
Qestion 1: Could please someone tell me exactly which software I have to install where to get the whole thing set up properly?
Second problem - after I got Fs2Phidget running, I tried to follow the manual to get my 0/16/16 running. Auto detection of the kit in the card manager works, but the tab on the main screen keeps telling "unattached".
When I click on "connect to phidgets", I get an error message telling
"runtime error 2147023116 (8800706f4) method '~" of object'~' failed"
and after clicking on "OK" the program closes down.
Windows itself obviously detects the kit, since it makes a "ding-dong" sound when plugging or unplugging it.
Any Idea on this?
Best regards,
Stefan.
