"Could not open unwise.exe"

Post by RichardFS »

I tried to download COTS for the 377, and this message pops up every time. I don't remember the specific line, but it was something like C:\WINDOWS\UNWISE.EXE. What do?

Is this when you are uninstalling or installing?

Rich,

There is a 377 Airplane and a COTS expansion pack for that airplane. Are you just trying to install the expansion pack without first installing the airplane?

Scott.

I guess I wasn't clear enough in my original post. A few months back, I did a complete reinstall of FSX and all its add-ons. Both the Strat and the Connie (the only a2a addons I have) reinstalled without issue, the Connie with COTS. I haven't flown the Strat since the reinstall and recently flew it and noticed the COTS wasn't reinstalled. So I downloaded it onto my computer, ran the application, and halfway through it exits out and a window pops up that reads "Could not open C:\WINDOWS\UNWISE.EXE" or something along the lines of. I already have the Stratocruiser. I am trying to install the Captain of the Ship add-on. The issue is occuring when I attempt to install Captain of the Ship.

NEVERMIND, I figured it out. I was trying to run the application while it was still in a compressed state, I completely overlooked that obvious detail. I unzipped it to the desktop and everything installed fine.
