FS9 Scenery installation bug under Windows 7

[ReneB 3]

Hello everyone,Having purchased a new computer I'm almost ready to reinstall FS9 as per Opa's instructions (UAC off, separate folder etc.) He also pointed to a workaround for a problem with Windows 7 when installing addon scenery. Does anyone know whether this 'bug' still exists? Thanks in advance.Kind regards,René

Yes it does, but all it takes is one extra mouse click when adding scenery to solve it !

Here are two resources which show how to add scenery under Win 7 -A good video:http://iblueyonder.com/video-tutorial-adding-scenery-to-fsx-in-windows-7/and a thread with pictures:http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?234251-getting-add-ons-to-work-on-FSX&p=1588252#post1588252Once you have done it a few times it will become simple.
