Kevinuk Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Trying to download and use Iceland free demo in FSX. Using the OFF file as no other Orbx software in use. Download seems to be OK. Double clicking this app after some time produces error message: 'Another program is currently using this file'. Then message: 'Launcher Error. Could not start the setup'. Any advice would be appreciated to someone new to Orbx. Regards, Kevuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogera Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Kevin, You are unzipping the file before trying to install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Most often when this type of error appears, it is anti virus software unnecessarily checking files. Try disabling it before you try the installation again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinuk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Gentlemen, Thank you both for your rapid response. I assume the file has been unzipped as a folder is created in my documents, 'Orbx FTX Global OFF Iceland Demo.exe Disabled Norton Antivirus and Firewall but get exactly the same error messages. Further advice greatly appreciated. Regards, Kevinuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Maly Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Are you using a non-microsoft unzip utility? This seems to be crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinuk Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thank you for your reply. I am using a Microsoft unzip utility in Windows 7 so mystified as to why I am having this problem. Regards, Kevinuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Perhaps you can then try winzip, winrar or 7 zip, as recommended. It's worth a try at least and the all have free or trial versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinuk Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Success! Finally got it to work. Downloaded Demo onto laptop where it opened without a problem. Transferred to PC and got the same error messages on about five attempts. Noticed Orbx Icon on task bar. Right clicked and one option was start install. Left clicked this and as I said, Success! Thank you to all who offered advice. Off now to take the Cessna for a spin over Iceland. Regards, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
