I have installed AS2012 with no problem but the xgauge-wizard will not install the xgauge. I have FSX closed, UAC off, run FSX and the wizard as Admin but continue to get the error that I do not have enough rights.

I appriciate any help

Thanks, Peter

If FSX is installed in the default W7 location, you can try "taking ownership" of the folder. It is recommended by most that FSX not be installed in the default in w7 due to the way that W7 treats the folder, even with UAC turned off. If that's the case, google "take ownership of folder" and give it a try.

Vic, thanks for your input. As my FSX is not installed in the default location but in H:\FSX it is my understanding there should not be a problem with ownership, but I will give it a try.

I found the solution ( in my case it did not depend on the ownership issue ):

In "simobject\airplanes" I only have payware, whilst all FSX default aircraft are in a folder called ( + declared in fsx.cfg !) "simobjects\airplanes FSX". I copied the default C172 into the "simobject\airplanes" folder and finally the xgaugewizard installed the gauge. Obviously the xgaugewizard routine looks for the default C172 in "simobject\airplanes" and if not found it abords installation.

Thanks anyway.

Peter
