Has anyone installed Flight into a non-default location ???I have a dedicated partition into which I have tried 4 times to install and each time when I click onPlay - I get an error message.Although the option to select an install location is available in MarketPlace and the programme isphysically installed there I can`t get the game to open.Appreciate any commentsThanksGeorge

Yup, mine's installed to F:Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight :smile: Could you give more information on the error you're getting? That will help narrow down the problem (hopefully).

Hi SamSame result with Flight installed to default location. Error message reads as followsGames for Windows - LIVE failed to initialize. Another Games for Windows - LIVE title may be running, or your product installation my be corrupted. You may need to repair or reinstall Microsoft Flight (80070005)I have tried `repair` but that says it can`t find the programme so I have uninstalled and redownloaded etc etc.Hope this helps RegardsGeorge

I have the same error George.When I downloaded Flight from my GfW account I could install it from GfW but when I tried to repair Flight it said that repair was not available, or words to that effect.So I'll carry on enjoying FSX for the next few years :smile:

seems a little different from my issues since at least LIVE performs flawlessly but nonetheless you may try what I just tried to explain here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/364050-what-a-joke/page__view__findpost__p__2276686
