teisco Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I changed my flight sim to drive D and now when trying to install Pago Pago it will not let me select D drive and insist on installing in C drive. I have the registry path set to D drive for flightsim. Why do you not have the installer setup to browse to directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi teisco, The installer seeks out the location of your FSX (or P3D) using the information stored in your registry, if that info is wrong it wont find it. Use the registry fix tool located here: C:\Users\[uSER]\AppData\Local\Orbx\FTXCentral\RegistryFixTool.exe Make sure your registry is pointing to the correct location for FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teisco Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yes I did use the registry fix tool and the path is correct for D but installer insist on C ...Shame you do not have a simple Browse feature in your installer..I had to make a fake FSX in my C drive and then manually install from there.

Tim Harris Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That should not be the case at all, something must be wrong with the registry, I will ask Ed to assist here, stand by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The installer simply retrieves the info from your setup path in your registry. This is intentional as we want to ensure that the product is correctly installed. So if the installer is wanting to install to your C drive then that is what is in your registry. Which FSX version are we talking about here? Boxed or Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teisco Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Guess I have to prove my registry path,,,here it is. Anyway please forget this I manually installed it anyway....much bigger problem is no object flow in P3D v3. See my other post here about that but basically I have installed Global, Current Libraies, and Pago Pago but no people flow...Dll is in proper place.

Ed Correia Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 When you click on the Get FSX Path button, please select "Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and you will see it will most likely be pointing to your C location. Yours is reporting the CURRENT_USER setting. Use the Set Path tab to create your path to FSX and remember to Set FSX Path when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teisco Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Please don't assume I am stupid, I have been doing this for 20 years and work for several FSX developers. . Both places were checked and both registry areas had the same results as in the picture. My registry path to FSX in current user and local machine both point to drive "D" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I never made that assumption, was only trying to assist in what I saw could have been an issue in your screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
