@CloudWallace1981 @Razor161 @Vespa Can you guys verify the permissions on the BMS registry key?
The installer should be granting full-control to all users… (if it’s not, for some reason … this would explain why launching as admin helps.)
But so far I’m unable to repro, even on a clean-box test virtual machine. My systems all look like this =>
@airtex2019
The permissions are set to “Read”. So that might be the issue here.Edit:
I disabled permission inheritance for “Falcon BMS 4.37” and assigned “Full Controll” to “Users”.
Problem solved. -
@MaxWaldorf I used the new full installer, yes

yep … the AL code tries to open the key as read/write, because it updates the PilotName/PilotCallsign values
this was never an expected mode of failure, so it ends up with an empty-string for the install directory, then chaos ensues… I’ll fix AL to behave better, but that will take a while. Max will probably bake a new installer before that happens.
I’ll see if I can make a little script to patch this, to unblock folks, in the meantime…

@MaxWaldorf i use U3 Full installer too.

@CloudWallace1981 @Razor161 @Vespa @Roger-Burgess thanks everyone for helping investigate and debug this very unusual and unexpected problem.
we’ll fix the installer and improve AL to deal with this… in the meantime:
short-term workarounds => run AL and BMS as admin.
or, open Regedit and grant full-control of
HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims
registry key to the all-users group. -
@airtex2019 Thank you too
-
@airtex2019 I’ll go for the regedit way, thanks

@Razor161 try launching Launcher.exe as an admin
I had this exact problem. This fixed it.

@Roger-Burgess A new installer will be posted in the coming days to solve that issue…

@MaxWaldorf
No worries, I fixed the permissions issue using the registry. Just reporting that it worked so people can see commonality of resolution of the issue. -
