This is an indication of just how badly wrong your install is already going. Strongly suggest you stop before it gets any worse as you are heading for a reinstall anyway.BerBaas wrote:OK gang I think I'm in business. I did some poking around in the P3D Add-On tree and found an instance of both configurators. I shortcutted them onto the desktop and both open and seem to work as I would expect. I'm thinking the original desktop shortcuts were aimed at the c:user doc folder. Like I said previously I shipped the A2A files to E:\P3D add-ons folder and the originals could not find them.
One last question can I reinstall over the old install? Reason being the Programs ans Features were also aimed at the C:\Docs folder and thinks the 172 has already been uninstalled.
You cannot install over the old install, the sim will only offer you repair or uninstall. There are several manual steps to a `proper` uninstall and full details are to be found on the P3D forum, which really - REALLY - should be your first port of call before this gets any worse.
