bob57 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have tried for hours to get the unwrapper to unwrap, but it gets to about 75% then stalls. I have my virus and firewall off, and over 260 GB's on hardrive free. I have downloaded new installer twice, but still no luck. Thanks for your help, I have most of FTX programs this is the first time this has happened. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkterry Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Bob Try to use the downloader as recommended in the download page of FSS. I used Free Download Manager and downloaded from Cloud server in 15 minutes. Unwrapping had no problem for me. Check the date format when enter.

bob57 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thank you Terry I will try with a different downloader. I found with FTX installers once I put in the requirements for proof of purchase the installer never asks again. Last weekend I did a complete reinstall of FSX, with no issue on all the FTX installers. Strange this one is giving me an issue. You mentioned date format, I'm assuming you talking about proof of purchase, because I cut and paste, dates order numbers and registration numbers, with no issue, and as mentioned once entered never required again. Thanks for you help, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Cheese Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have tried for hours to get the unwrapper to unwrap, but it gets to about 75% then stalls.

The wrapper unwraps to C:\ (or whichever drive you have your Windows temp file on) and NOT to the drive where your sim is installed, if it happens to be on a different one. Make sure you have those free GB's on your C:\ drive. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob57 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Jack. That is correct, my sim is on different drive, and FTX installer is on C with 260GB free space. I know the unwrapper uses temp and the installer installs to FSX. This such a mystery after clean install of all my FTX products unwrapped and installed last weekend. I have England, Wales, Scotland, PWN, Northern California, Southern Alaska, Fjords, Global and Vector. All installed without issue. Thanks Bob I also have opened a service support ticket with FSS.

Bruceb Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This is a known issue with orbx unwrappers with some PCs but no solution - have been in discussion with FS Store for a couple of months about it - everything seems to work in the end but I am advised it can take many hours and to be patient! bruceb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
