Plan-G v4 Beta Build 243

[kodiepilot]

I downloaded this build today. Several times. When I get the message "You must install .NET core" I download and install Net core. I restarted the computer and still get the same message. I have done this several times. Still the same message. What am I doing wrong?

FYI Message looking for 3.1.0. I have 3.1.12. I got the location from the link here in the forum.

Thank You.

Did you install the 32-bit (X86) version?

[kodiepilot]

downloaded version 3.1.16. That gave me the same error. Can you send me the link for the version I should be using?

Thanks Bill McCracken

The link is in the forum, as indicated by your first message. 3.1.12 (or .16 - I don't think it much matters). The important thing is that you install the 32-bit x86 version, NOT the x64 one.

Did you try a reboot after installing it?

Where did you install Plan-G? (is it on a  protected part of the hard drive, or a cloud drive?)

I did not see a file that specifically said 32-bit x86. I did not chose the 64-bit one.

I installed the file. dotnet-runtime-3.1.12-win-x86.exe
Yes I rebooted after install

Thank You

You can check the version(s) of DotNet you have installed:

Open a command prompt (type "cmd" in the Windows search box)

then type in the command

Code Select Expand

dotnet --info and press enter.
You should see a list of all the DotNet versions that are installed.

Tim this morning. I redownloaded Plan-G installed it and still get the same error message. As you see I have the 32bit version installed.

Thank You.

Sorry, I don't see what you have installed. You should see a whole screenful of results, for example:

You can also use Explorer to browse to c:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\host\fxr and that will show you a folder for each 32-bit version you have installed:

Tim,

Problem solved!

Not sure why. Here is what I did.

First the only Flight Simulator I have installed is FS2020.
I downloaded and installed Plan-G version 3. It ran as you know does not support FS2020. So no databases could be created.
Then I noticed another post. They needed to have FS2020 running. I didn't see that anywhere. Not necessary for version 3.
Then I ran FS2020. Next Plan-G version 4. Same error message as before. As before I followed the message recommendation to download donet, As I have done many times before. This time Plan-G loaded without any messages or problems.

So which one of the above solved the problem?

Thank You.
