So I have a rather odd problem and I can't seem to find anything like it online.
I was having trouble with the "Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E" error, then found the forum post on it, and ran the legacy SimConnect installers, as recommended. I had uninstalled Aivlasoft EFB software, ran the installers, and then ran the Aivlasoft installer again.
The odd part is - the installation doesn't install dataprovider.exe. When I install the software, the 'data provider' part is greyed out, and can't be checked, so the installation only installs DisplayUnit.
If I ignore and just install anyway, DisplayUnit is installed, Data Provider is not installed and is nowhere else to be found on the PC. It was previously installed, but of course I was getting the HResult noted above.
Any thoughts?
I'm on Win7 ultimate 64-bit, FSX Steam Edition.
Thanks,
Scott
