cptdes Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Guys, sorry to be a pain but I recently had to do a complete reinstall ow Win 7. I have successfuly reinstalled FSX and today started to put back all my ORBX starting with NZNIsland from the backup copy I had made after d/loading it from FSS. It unwrapped OK but... That is when I started to get problems...Twice in a row it failed with this message, Setup can not create the following folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\MicrosoftGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\User Documents OK I thought......I will try and put in South Island instead, from the original disc I bought...that too failed to install, with the same message. I am ripping what is left of my hair out ..and any help would be appreciated.. thanks in advance Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi Des, You should make your install as Administrator by clicking right on exe and choosing this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Cheese Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 And if it's not too late, I'd reinstall FSX into a root folder either on drive c:\ or even better on another drive. Installing into the default c:\program files (x86) is only going to give you endless problems down the road. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptdes Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys...I have had enough for tonight and have shut the comp down. Will take up what you said and see what happens in the morning and let you know what happens...... Now back to the football (Australian Rules) on TV....it's a close game at 1/2 time and I don't want to miss the second half. Hope my team (Fremantle) has another win : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptdes Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Well sad to say I tried twice this morning to install the scenery (as administrator) and I still have the same problem Setup can not create the following folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\MicrosoftGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\User Documents I opened the ORBX folder and it is showing (folder)FTX_NZ, (folder)Scripts, and what appears to be a file icon similar to Notebook with User Documents next to it with a file size of 4,141 KB. I am now very confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptdes Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have now uninstalled FSX using Revo uninstaller and will try reinstalling it when I get home after work. Will create a folder in C\ drive called FSX and try and put it in there :banghead: Wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
