install.exe won't launch

Post by Cowboy100 »

Hey guys,

I'm running P3Dv4 on win10x64.
I can install all other addons compatible, including the skylane.
Just when I double click on the texan installer, the blue circle above the mouse cursor pops up briefly, but other than that, nothing happens.
any suggestions?

Try this (note: this file is not the file you were asking about, but I believe the problem you describe is the same one I had when trying to get this file to work):

Click right on the file, then check that little box as indicated. Also, try running it as administrator.

Hello,

is the download ok, or corrupt would be something to look at.

Other than that it would be best to check all your anti virus or anti-malware to check its not picking up false positives etc.

thanks,

Can you re-download to check, AV not popping up doesn't mean its not being blocked by running by your system. You could try running as admin if you are able by right clicking and selecting run as admin.

I turned off all AV completely , ran as admin.
Still just the blue circle above the mouse cursor for a while and then nothing.

I had P3D v3 installed before.
Could it be that I didn't uninstall the texan properly?

Here's the thing:
I successfully installed the cessna 182. I successfully installed all other addons for P3D. I can even launch the Texan P3Dv1-3 install exe flawlessly. I redownloaded and extracted everything with no firewall or other security measure running. Still no success.
Can't anyone help me with this?

can it be that the download file itself is corrupt on the flightsimstore servers?

Yes, sorry I did mention to try a re-download just in case.
