May 28, 201214 yr Asanal: After you download REXE unzip it to a "new" folder You will see in that "new" folder the following files...... 7 Cab files, autorun.exe, dotnetfix.exe, rexess_20120510.msi and finally rexess_setup.exe Right click "rexess_setup.exe" and "run as Administrator" Rick OS: W7 X64 Sim: FSX SP1/SP2/Acceleration Processor: AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ 3.2GHz Video Card/Memory: Nividia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1024MB Driver: GeForce Nvidia 301.42 Ram: 8GHb DirectX: 10.0C FSX & associated files on Drive C
May 28, 201214 yr I thought I was clear in my post. You can't go to Essential, it is not developed for that.. REX ESSENTIAL OVERDRIVE is for users with REX+OverDrive, and it's FREE. Still not clear .. I had REX 2 + OD .. and was able to get the essential download (free). So when the Essential OD comes out ... do we have to purchase that?
May 28, 201214 yr ... do we have to purchase that? NO. It will come later... Icing on the cake it is... Best regards, Fritz ESSONO

Thanks. I just completed and "run as Administrator" was the missing link, Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"

May 28, 201214 yr Hi, It had been awhile since I used REX. Installed all and simconnect.msi. I think I have the simmconnect.xml and ini file properly installed on the FSX machine. I did not install any textures so I got the weather engine gauge up and nothing happens. It just stays blank. I checked the errorlog and I have this message: ERROR TRAPING FOR REX ESSENTIAL Class Location: frmWxEngine.ucWebPlanner1_GoStorm Error: Input string was not in a correct format. Not sure what to do. There does not seem to be any indication that there is a connection issue from the client to FSX. I tried to get on the forums but am asked for id and pw but I do not remember. I cannot see the forums, I just get a popup asking for the id and pw. Bob Officially retired
May 28, 201214 yr Still not clear .. I had REX 2 + OD .. and was able to get the essential download (free). So when the Essential OD comes out ... do we have to purchase that? Oh man... the guys have enough stress as it is, can you please get it this time?! Basically, both Essentials (just out) AND Essentials OD (out soon) are FREE. You CAN'T install Essentials onto REX 2 + OD, ONLY REX 2. But when Essential OD comes out, you will. Or you could do what I did, which was to uninstall REX2OD, reinstall REX2 only, then install the Essentials upgrade over that. Does that make sense? :P
May 28, 201214 yr When I look at REXEssential.zip, I see only 7 cab files, dotnetfx.exe and Rxessential.exe. However, when I try to extract dotnetfx.exe and Rxessential.exe, I get a 'unknown compression type.' Also, I see the compression ratio for those two files is 6%, as opposed to 95% for the seven cab files. I downloaded from the flightsim store with no issues, but now suspect I should try again from a different mirror site (I used the USA). Anyone else have problems extracting files?

May 28, 201214 yr Commercial Member Very sorry for the confusion Tierborn. Tim FuchsManaging PartnerREX SIMULATIONS website: www.rexsimulations.comsupport: www.rexaxis.com
May 28, 201214 yr Might be obvious but make sure you extract these file out of the zip, use winrar always works great, a file this big should not be executed from inside the zipped file. Rich Sennett
May 28, 201214 yr timest, I bought my REX2 essentials (v2.0.2010.0130) from THE FLIGHT STORE... so that means I should be able to Upgrade to the new essentials... I think... but I dont see anywhere to do this free uploading.
