    Hello.

    I downloaded SODE Ver.1.6.3. Then, I installed it. But, I can’t find register button like as attached screenshot.

    Also, I read Troubleshoot Guide and FAQ, then I tried. But, I couldn’t solve.

    Previously, the same situation happened when I downloaded  and installed old version. So, I couldn’t use SODE.

    Would you tell me how to solve the problem?

    My simulator is FSX Gold edition (Japanese).

    I attach screenshots(SODE Platform Manager and log) here.

    The only thing that I could recommend is giving up on SOSE and any products that use it.  That is what I have done.  It is completely useless and any product that continues to require it is less than what you are paying for. It goes against the grain of advancements in Flight Simulator.  I use P3DV4 the most advanced flight sim program out there and have numerous airfields with working jetways.  I ended up buying a product that required SODE (I wasn’t told that when I made my purchase) and spent 5 days trying to get the jetways to attach to my aircraft. That’s enough of my rant.  When companies get that bad that they have to use SODE they are not worth the time to waste even if they were free.

    Hi,

    The platform manager reads out your Windows registry to get the installation path of FSX. If the entry is missing or incorrect, then SODE platform manager can’t display the register button.

    Try to download this tool that should repair FSX registry settings: https://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

     

    Once the path is correctly set in the Windows registry, then platform manager will work.

    Hello, 12bPilot. Thank you for your reply.

    I downloded “FSX/FS9 Registry Repair Tool” from address which you described. Then, I tried as you said.

    Consequently, the repair tool said that path was successfully added.(Please see screen shot)

    Finally, I ran SODE again.

    But, unfortunately, the same situation happened again.

    Also, I restarted my computer, but it was the same.

    Do you have another solution for this situation?

    By the way, my computer operation system is Windows 7. I had forgotten to write here, I’m sorry.

    Ok, can you attach the various log files concerning the platform detection?

    C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\log ->

    PLTMGR_FSX.log and PLTMGR_DETECTION.log

     

    Thanks

    Hello.

    I can find PLTMGR_DETECTION.log file, but I can’t find PLTMGR_FSX.log file.

    Also, I researched the file with research engine in my computer. Then, my computer found PLTMGR_DETECTION.log file, but not PLTMGR_FSX.log file.

    Anyway, I attach PLTMGR_DETECTION.log file here.

    Looks like the SetupPath entry still can’t be accessed by SODE Platform Manager.

    I’m starting to believe it is a language setting issue.

    Just to double-check, can you post a screenshot of the program “regedit” and the following path (see image below)

    Hello. I’m sorry to be late.

    I post a screenshot of regedit.

    But, I can see only two files, “(Standard)” and “CurrentXPackProductCode.” So, I couldn’t take screenshot of SetupPath.

    Also, my simulator is installed in my computer and have worked with no problem.

    Thank you.

    The entry is missing.

    You can manually add a new String value -> right-click in the white area of regedit and create “New” -> “String Value”.

    Then name it “SetupPath” and the value should be your path to FSX -> “D:\FSX”

    OK. I could make it.

    Now, SetupPath exists. I attach a screenshot again here.

    Thank you.
