barton18 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 i need a way to install the manual download... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Here is what is in the link that you do not seem to have opened or read Quote If you use the manual download function on your Orbx Direct account product page, you will receive one .zip file. To install this, one must use the Install from my manually downloaded zip function in FTX Central and it should prompt you to select a file and then install from the single file.

barton18 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 what is fss licensing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sorry, if you have installed the product, why are you asking how to install the product? As you cannot make FTX Central work, how did you install it? FSS licensing has nothing to do with this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barton18 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 ok... as i have said i do have it installed and when i run it in xp11 it crashes requetier pops up stating that these files are missing one is a .ter file and a dds i think. when i look into the location where the requester claims it cannot load them from, there they are, they do exist in that location but will not load.

barton18 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 i think i need to uninstall it and re install it from the manual download which i have done.... but i dont see the 'install from a zip' option on ftx, i think the option is only available when going for installing so i will have to uninstall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
