Happy to say that the B377 is working great in P3D v3 with no getting stuck issues like I had in P3D v2.5 that made the B17 and B377 impossible to fly

How are you trying to install the sim? The corruption message will be because you re trying to use the FSX installer and it cannot find the required FSX files it checks prior to installation.

Thanks,

Would you mind tell me What files do the B-17 installer need. I think it need maybe other files except fsx.exe?
Thanks,

You only need a fsx.exe file. See my earlier post:

"What I have done is to copy the FSX.exe and paste it into the P3DV2.2 - V3.2 folder and have left it there as it does not cause any problem. (If you do not have FSX installed on your computer, I have heard that some folks simply copy the P3D.exe and rename this copy as FSX.exe and it will be enough to get the B17 to install) Then point the B17 installer to the P3DV2.2 location and it should install just fine."

This has worked for me since P3DV2.0 up now in P3DV3.2.

Good luck!

I confirm copying Prepar3D.exe (or any file, really) as FSX.exe is enough to install it with P3D v3.2. Don't forget to run the updater!
It's working perfectly and is a real pleasure :)
