Aerosoft Catalina

Post by DaveB »

Hi Chaps :)

Here's a new problem I've not bounced off before. When I try to load up the Aerosoft Catalina in FSX.. I hear a warning 'dink' and there's a window on the desktop saying something like oops, that's the wrong aircraft :-O Checking the FSX fatal error detail, it appears to be in cryptui.dll (cryptui.dll_unloaded). What the hell is this all about :dunno:
I've had the Cat running under Win7/FSX before but this is the first time I'd selected it after the new install *-) Bing came up blank except to say what cryptui.dll is :dunno:

No idea Dave. Do you have a cryptui.dll file in your windows folders anywhere? I've got one in both the system32 and sysWOW64 folders, although they are different sizes.

Hi Dave :)

Yup.. I have the same. The Sys31 file is 21.11.2010 @1041kb and the SysWOW64 file is the same date @980kb.

I've never heard of the darned thing before today. One reference I found to it with regard to FSX was on the Aerosoft forums as it happens. Some chap had loaded/installed Aerosoft Vienna (I think) and he got the cryptui.dll_unloaded error. He asked why this was but the question was ignored 8)
I've tried loading the Catalina since and it completely locked up the pc. I had to use the reset button :'(
The only possible difference with this install is that it was a later version rather than the original version with the update patch added. I'll try and uninstall it and see what happens if I install the earlier version then add the patch. Hardly ever fly the b1oody thing anyway 8)

EDIT: Tried a less painful way and dragged the Cat off my previous Win7/FSX install and it works fine :)
