active Orbx Libraries Issue

[AlexWard]

When installing a new product there is no option to select a library to install it into. It just automatically tries to install it in C:/ and then can't because there's not enough disk space. I frothed at the option to install Orbx to different drives and immediately uninstalled and reinstalled FSX to my SSD with the intention of installing Orbx files to a separate D:/..

 

Running an Intel i5-7400, 3ghz, 8gb RAM, NVidia GTX 1050. Windows 10.

 

Haven't had to do this before so not sure what else you need - Please let me know.

Hello,

when you install a product, you have the option to select where the installation takes place

 

 

as well as where the files are installed to.

Hey Nick,

Thanks for the response. My issue is i don't get this option at all.

 

I see this;

 

 

Then I click "install" and we go straight to this;

 

 

The second screenshot you posted does not appear whenever I select "install".

It just automatically begins installing into my C:/ instead of my D:/ library.

It seems that Orbx Central does not see your Library.

Try deleting your D:\Orbx\Library library and the folder that it points to, so long as it is empty.

Then create a new and empty folder and a new Orbx Central Library pointing to it and try again.

Good idea.. But no dice unfortunately.

Did exactly as you suggested, created a new 'Orbx' folder in my D drive, associated a library to it in Orbx, and go to install a product but it still automatically begins to download into C:/ and gives me the same error message that there's not enough storage space (which there isn't).

 

As a side, when I test this and click 'install' - it also doesn't let me cancel the download which i find odd. 

I just get a "cannot cancel job" message and then they hang in a "cancelling" state until I exit out of the program..

Thanks.

I am not the Orbx Central expert, we have a team for that but they don't work weekends.

I wonder if you could attach a copy of the log.

You can open it in Orbx Central, save it as a file and attach it to your next post.

Thanks.

Log attached (hope that's the right one)

 

Thanks for your help though - much appreciated.

Thanks, now I see the problem.

Orbx Central Libraries are only possible with X Plane 11 and P3D v4.

Orbx Central can only install into the FSX folder, it cannot install into an Orbx Library.

 

Luckily, there is another solution that you might try:
