64-bit beta for Windows

[Keith Smith]

For windows only (for now). These URLs won't last forever, and once we change audio libraries, this structure is going to change quite a bit, but until further notice, Windows users are invited to try the beta. This won't go final until after 10.20 is final with official support for 64-bit:
http://assets.pilotedge.net/clients/xpl ... odex64.dll
http://assets.pilotedge.net/clients/xpl ... _win64.dll
http://assets.pilotedge.net/clients/xpl ... ugin64.xpl (V0.8.1, updated Jul 19 2013)

Most users will also need to install the 2010 Visual C++ 64-bit runtime from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=14632

I'm doing this in the forum for now to get some initial feedback and to make sure its' working for at least one other person. I'm not sure if the MSVCR100.dll in the home directory that we ship with includes both 32 and 64-bit support...so this is how we find out.

Instructions for installation with existing 32-bit version already in place:
1) drop those files into your X-Plane 10.20/resources/plugins folder,
2) rename your existing VSProPlugin.xpl (this is the existing 32-bit version) to a .bak extension to prevent X-Plane from loading BOTH versions of the plugin

Start X-Plane.exe (the 64-bit version) and have at it.

Please report issue in this thread.

No dice here....here is a line from my log.txt

Y:\X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/VSProPlugin64.xpl : Error Code = 193 : %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Failed: Y:\X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/VSProPlugin64.xpl. (This file is missing, not a DLL or could not be loaded due to another missing DLL.)

I do have the file MSVCR100.dll in my Resources/plugins folder........FYI


Windows7 64bit
Xplane 10.20b10

Lee, you're running the 32-bit version of X-Plane (I can tell, because the error specifically says "is not a valid Win32 application").

Can you try it with the 64-bit version of X-Plane? *whispers* that's the whole idea, remember?

No luck, Keith. See log file. Had to compress. Could not attach .txt Cheers, AJ

[Keith Smith]

AJ, I don't have rar on this machine, and won't be installing it. Just post the relevant line from the log, it'll be very easy to find. It'll be the area where it says that it couldn't load the plugin!

It's definately 64bit.....lol

I could not attach the log.txt, so I emailed it to you, Keith.

Lee,

The log file that you sent contains a different error than the one you posted, it says:
"Y:\X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/VSProPlugin64.xpl : Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found.
Failed: Y:\X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/VSProPlugin64.xpl. (This file is missing, not a DLL or could not be loaded due to another missing DLL.)"

That's the part I need. It sounds like it's looking for another DLL and not finding it, or not finding a 64-bit implementation of it. Can you email me a screenshot (or paste it here) of your Resources/plugins folder?

Keith...........done
