Hi,
I am having an issue when trying to install the C172 in to P3DV4.3.
It seems as if nothing happens, and the installer goes straight to a window saying the installation failed.
There are some errors shown near the end of the log:

Hello,
Are you running the installer as admin?
Which OS are you using?
thanks,

Hi,
Yes I am installing as admin, which I pretty much do by default for flight sim installers these days.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit.

I found one other topic with a similar issue, but I'm not sure I understand how to implement the solution.

Hi Lewis,
I'm having a similar problem, both with the P3Dv4 C172 and C182. As you can see, I'm attempting to install in the sim directory because my C:drive is becoming tight for space.
After selecting the installation folder and clicking on 'Install', nothing happens at all, and eventually I have to start task manager to get rid of it. I've tried installing to the default Documents location, but no difference - nothing happens after clicking on 'Install'
I am running the .exe as administrator. My version of P3D is 4.4, and my OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

Hi Paul,
Sorry to hear you're having some problems. Is this the first time you've used the new installer on your system?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: C172 P3Dv4 Academic installation failing
Hi Nick,
Yes, this is the first time. I bought Prepared v4.4 last week, and am just getting round to reinstalling add-ons. I uninstalled the A2A aircraft from Prepared v3 using control panel, by the way.
I've just had another go, and now I think my problem matches the OP's one - I click on 'Install' and to the default Documents folder, and instantly I get this failure message:
Tried attaching the installation log to this post, but that doesn't work.
EDIT: Just so I can check, what size should the zip files be for the Prepared V4 downloads - the two Cessnas I mean?

Re: C172 P3Dv4 Academic installation failing
Okeydokey, Nick. Did you see my edit on the post above, about zip file sizes ? It's something I could check.
