Hi Vin,thank you for your quick reply!I sent you a mail with the description of my troubles...Good night!MichaelGermany

Wel it appears that your default FS2004 location (E: insted of C:) is an issue for the installer IMO.[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpgAMD 64 3200+ | ASUS KV8 DELUXE | GFORCE 5700 ULTRA @535/1000 | WD SATA 80 GIG | 512 DDR 400 |

Hi Randy,do you seriously mean that the install-routineof the 737-800/900 can only find the 737-600/700if the FS9 is installed into the default folder"C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9"... !?Or what do you otherwise mean with "E: insted of C is an issue for the installer" ?Nevertheless, I will await Vin's answer...Best wishesMichael

Hi Randy,only for your information:the problem is solved by Robert/PMDG via priv. mail.The Windows-Registry "lost" the FS9-Informations,so the 737-800/900 install routine could'nt findthe position of the simulator...(Don't ask me why that could happen)Nevertheless, I re-installed the FS9 over the existing one,that was it...!Thanks again for the quick and professional help to PMDG!CiaoMichael
