Problems with installing

Post by tobz787 » Fri Dec 30, 2016 9:03 am

Hi,

I have tried to install this scenery but I am continuing to get the error message:
"Data File missing, please ensure you also downloaded: C:\WINDOWS\system32\FlyTampa_Amsterdam_FSX_P3D.dat"

However, I have this file in my download folder along with the installer and it also has the same name as the file that the message says is missing. I've tried re-downloading the scenery but I'm still getting the same message and am a bit confused as to why it's not working for me. Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem?

Regards,

Toby

You downloaded both EXE and DAT file to the same folder, which is different from C:\WINDOWS\system32\ ?
This error message comes right at the beginning when you run the Installer, before any other screens or messages?

1 Check the DAT file is not labeled ZIP instead
2 Check the DAT file is 1.8GB
3 Run the EXE as Admin (right click Menu)
4 Make sure your Windows drive (c:) is not full or nearly full. Right click, select properties

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I've managed to run the EXE as admin now so it is working, the scenery is fantastic!
