Object Placer 0.84 XML

Post by msm8378 »

I downloaded this neat little program from FSDeveloper.com. However, I keep getting an error when trying to compile a file...

F:\Program Files\SceneryDesign.org\ObPlacer XML>bglcomp compile.xml
INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR C1003: Failed to create MSXML object! (0x80040154)

Parsing document: compile.xml

ERROR C2470: Unrecoverable error parsing XML!
ERROR C2006: Parse failed (0x80004005)
ERROR C2003: Failed to process file: compile.xml


If anyone is familiar with this type of error please educate me!!

Thanks,

Mat

Mat have you been able to place objects with Arno's program before this error?

Mike...

No, I just installed it.

I have tried it in both XP and Vista-64. Both OS are completely up-to-date to include the MSXML4 updates. I also have ScenGenX (Airport) and the FS2004 BGL SDK installed in XP. No problems compiling with them.

I am curious if the compile.xml file is causing the problem? From the looks of things it is some kind of "mid-wife" between bglcomp and the file that you are actually trying to create...

I guess I could use Object Placer to generate the XML code and then compile it directly via the FS2004 BGL SDK, but sure would be nice to figure this out...it seems like a really nice program.

Error C2003, An identifier must follow the preprocessor keyword.

Error C2006, Directives such as #include or #import require a filename. To resolve the error, make sure token is a valid filename. Also, put the filename in double quotes or angle brackets.

ERROR C2470, A function definition is missing its argument list.

ERROR C1003, Errors in the program are too numerous to allow recovery. The compiler must terminate.

Thanks Scott...

I'll take a look at this compile.xml file when I get a chance and see if I can figure out what is going on...

Thanks for the help guys...

I finally got the program working correctly in VISTA. Not sure why, but had to install it three times before the files correctly registered with the OS.

:D

The main reason was error c1003.
