P3D Not Found

[noahdenneno]

When I go to download the scenery, I put in the serial number, but then it says it has not detected P3D, what should I do?

There should be a browse button that will allow you to point the installer at your P3D location.

I've tried that but it wont let me. It says there is no file, but I specifically made one for P3D.

Point it to the location of the Prepar3D.exe

[noahdenneno]

Didn't work, still says it cannot find it.

Same here the install button wont highlight until it finds (in my case) the FSX folder. I am trying to install MDW for fsx v2.0 i purchased a few years back.

I have this same issue, I point to the P3D folder and exe file and the installer does not highlight. Is FSX or P3D v3 required to “trick” the installer? I only have P3D v4 on my system.

The installer just looks for FSX.EXE or Prepar3D.EXE

I have this equivalent issue, I point to the P3D envelope and exe document and the installer does not feature. Is FSX or P3D v3 required to "trap" the installer? I just have P3D v4 on my framework.

The installer just wants you to select a folder that contains either FSX.EXE or Prepar3D.exe... which normally means the main/root folder. But you can also trick the installer with a dummy folder and EXE file.
