KTVL Broken Installer?

Recommended Posts

Bought KTVL, KFHR, and PAHO tonight on the same order. Happened during the site outages so the purchase was a little wonky but the keys were delivered right away. Installing KFHR was a little strange too (refused to validate the key a couple of times, worked the third). KTVL validated fine but the installer isn't coming up. The FSS wrapper shows the warning box not to click Finish until the installer runs, I hit Ok, and the KTVL installer never appears - it goes right to the FSS Finish screen. I can see in the temporary directory that the installer files unwrap, and after clicking Ok there is a small delay and then the executable for the installer is deleted. I'm thinking the KTVL installer is failing silently and then the FSS wrapper just moves on? Haven't tried PAHO yet, waiting for the quad installer.

 

This is on Prepar3D 3.0 (which probably doesn't matter since the installer doesn't even load) and Windows 10. KTVL 1.10 installer that I downloaded just an hour or so ago.

I had actually tried that last night, but didn't want to volunteer that since I didn't know how close to the line that would be with messing with the DRM. Anyway, the same thing happened - nothing visually noticeable, and then the executable deleted itself. I'll try that again once I get a second but running it from a command prompt just in case it's printing out any text.

Just tried running it from a command line before hitting OK on the FSS wrapper, here is the output:

There is a few second pause between running the executable and the access denied message.

That actually did the trick. A zillion orbx sceneries installed and this is the first time that's happened to me. The AV software wasn't registering an alert either. Anyway, thanks much for the help, off to check out KTVL..
