Hi GuysI had recently uninstalled FS9 to give space to try FSX, however, after a couple of weeks missing my addons, I have now decided to reinstall FS9.This is where my problem starts, as my installation discs are not being read by my DVD drive. Occassionally the setup.exe interface will autostart, but a double click produces no hard drive activity. Selecting the application from within windows explorer also has no effect.The DVD drive will autostart other applications from a DVD and the FS9 disc set I am using is brand new, bought as my original set was scratched.Any offers of help would be appreciated.Thanks in advanceStuart Sutton-Young

try to install FS9 on another computer. if install works the issue is you other computer's DVD drive. if install not work the issue is the new disks.if issue DVD drive ... get new drive - $25if issue CDs ... take back to where purchased and get new set.--

Tested a couple of other drives to no avail!:(All other setups function except for FS9, very wierd!Could any files have been corrupted during the uninstall?

Hello,

Could any files have been corrupted during the uninstall?

Nothing to do with your problem ...Think again .. why (IF) some files stay behind from your former installation will deny a setup process on a CD to start ??Well .. apparently it's seem that your disk N°1 got a problem ....Test:Try to copy paste the entire CD N°1 in a temporary folder on your hard disk.If this not succeed .. you will be certain your disk N°1 is out of use (cause scratches or any other reasons)If you succeed ... burn the result on a CD and start your install from this CD !Regards.Gus.
