addon for XSI 7 32/64bit under vista 64bit is not starting

[dbachmann]

Hi,
I use a space pilot with the
-driver version 6.6.4
-Release Version 3.6.11
-Firmware 3.12
-under vista Ultimate 64bit.
-Geforce Nvidia 8800 Ultra

The Space Pilot works fine on the machine with 3DS Max 32/64bit, 3DCoat and Rhino.

But as soon as i start either XSI 7 advanced 32 bit or 64 bit, the XSI driver addon does not start automaticaly.

I have to uninstall and reinstall the addon everytime using the XSI addon manager.

As soon as I restart XSI, I have to make the same procedure to get the space pilot running.

And yes, I installed the correct versions of the addon, the one for 64bit for xsi 7 64 and the 32 bit one for xsi 7 32bit.

This problem happens since several versions of 3dxware. Please find a solution so that I can work without the boring reinstalling....

Thank you,
Daniel

For all other forum readers, this was the solution for dbachmann:

A) Select File->Add-on->Uninstall... from the main XSI menu bar
B) Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxSI
C) Drag and drop the file 3DxSI.xsiaddon to a window inside of XSI
