"Failed to create licence path"

Featured Replies

I tried to install PMDG 737NG in FS2004. First I got the "PMDGOptions.dll" error, but sortet that out quickly by searching the forums here. Now I got another problem. I can't register it! When I first load the Aircraft I get "Failed to create licence path", and after that a message that my 737NG is not registered. (Which is correct) During loading of the flight the "Failed to create licence path" error comes several times, and also when the panel pops up I have to remove the message like 10 times. Then, when I try to "extend registration" the error also comes, and I don't get the window with the computer generated code. So therfore I can't register!!I thought it might be some kind og write protection in my fs2004 folder, so I removed the "read only" attribute to fs2004 and all subfolders, but I still get the same result.Can anybody help me??

Thank you!YOu are receeiving this errormessage because you do not have adequate write permission to the drive you are installing.This has happened to one other customer- and the resolution was to fix an incorrectly set permission.... I'll dig through our archive and see if we can find the source of his solution- but you should email us at our support@ email address so that we may help you.

Found the problem. I originaly had FS2002 and the 737NG on another drive, which I have removed (It finaly crashed... :( ) So even though I installed FS2004 on another drive, the register key said that 737NG should look in the old drive to find the licence path. I ran REGEDIT and changed the value myself to the new path of FS, an pesto! :)

I'm the other customer. Same problem--Same solution...I would like to publicly acknowledge Robert's commitment to this project. In the midst of all of this turmoil,he took the the time to personally respond to all of my many emails until the problem was resolved.. Impressive!!Robert Reeves

I have the same problem except it tells me that there is a "signature error in the file". I didn't have a problem until I tried installing the 737 on FS2004.Andrew J McKeownProgrammerProject Open Sky[a href=http://www.projectopensky.com" target="_blank]http://www.projectopensky.com[/a]

Andrew-Drop us an email to [email protected] if you are unable to solve it by plugging your license code into the online form... We'll get you squared away.On a personal note Andy- you ever live in Massachusetts? Random question but if the answer is yes I'm wondering if we ever knew each other!
