Mike Echo Charlie Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Help - I tried to install this scenery from the disk that I just got and it is showing an error ('error: setup cannot create the following folder: \Effects'). I ordered it from PC Aviator (order #105052 or #339329A, I'm not quite sure which is the order #). I then tried right clicking the install .exe on the D: drive and clicked 'install as administrator' and it still didn't work (same error message). I then tried the same thing w/ my antivirus turned off and same thing. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Echo Charlie Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Also I forgot to mention I'm running Windows 7, have 294 free GB available, and have a recent install of FSX Gold w/ acceleration (includes SP2). I have my UAC set to never inform, I just downloaded the FSX registry fix and ran that (and retried, no joy). I only have Megascenery North Carolina installed, as well as a couple of 3rd party addons (A2A Piper Cub w/ accusim and P-38 lightning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Echo Charlie Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Also tried copying everything from the DVD and putting in a folder on C: and installing - no luck, same error message. I recall that when I installed the A2A cub, the installer didn't find the path to FSX (it's under 'C:Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games...). For the A2A installer I simply needed to point it to the location for FSX, then it installed fine. Also, I checked and have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 extended installed. thanks in advance for any help - I'm really getting stuck. MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi MC, Try this reg-fixer http://tweakfs.com/download/fsx_reg_utility.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Echo Charlie Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Success!! Thanks much for the assist - that registry utility did the trick (I was starting to wonder if the installer just didn't know where to look, but I had no idea how to get it pointed there or if it was something else). Now I just need to get a faster computer - the scenery is beyond spectacular but around the Seattle area it slows it down a good bit. I'll try tweaking the settings in FSX to tone the density down a bit. Thanks again! MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
