I think vista is the problem. Try to run the executable installer with administrator rights.

Anyway, take a look at PMDG official forum (http://www.precisionmanuals.com/priv/pages/forum.html), I'm sure there is the solution to your problem.

The bad news is that today the forum seems down for maintenance...

Hi Mick!

I belive Admin Rights are PMDG's rights to change the installer?

[rosariomanzo 545]

I haven't got Vista, but it ought to be something like this:

Right mouse click on the .exe installer, run as administrator.

tried that no joy will have to wait till that website opens again,am very frustrated now as i was really looking forward to fly this sim.do you think i should be connected to the net while loading it by any chance.told my wife i bet it would load up no problem on this computer as it is windows xp.anywat thanks again.regards mick

just as i thought it loaded into this computer in minutes,least i know it works ok looks great too.just need to get it on my vista system now as this computer i am on now is rubbish.regards mick

PMDG forum is operative again.

I tried to find the solution to your problem, and I saw that every hint was related to vista administration privileges. 99% solved the problem simply this way.

Other had to disable the firewall and the antivirus.

Mick, try this, and if it doesn't work, reboot in safe mode and install again.

Let me know.

Ciao!
