Don't know if this is the right place for this, but I thought I'd try. Cannot install World of AI on a HP with win 7 with gigs mem. and FSX and get this error: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application..." "Access to the path 'C:\Program File (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\WoA_HTAI_C208B Grand Caravan\model.cp' is denied" Can anyone help. This occures no matter what package I try to install. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm doing wrong. These were the details in the error message dump:

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

One of the things I've found with Windows 7 is that they keep the Program Files and Program Files (x86) directories locked down pretty tightly to prevent any viruses, spyware, trojans, etc., from installing themselves and wreaking havoc on your system.

 

When I initially installed FSX on my Win7 computer, I was lazy and used the defaults, and had issues similar to yours. I then removed FSX from, and installed it directly to a C:\FSX\ directory, and many of my problems immediately disappeared. Added benefit of being higher up in the directory tree, so it was easier to browse to when adding aircraft, scenery, etc.

 

If you're FSX install is mature, and don't want to move things, another thing you might try is to run the World of AI installer as Administrator (right-click on the installer, select Run As Administrator) - that might give you the extra permissions that you are needed (or at least that the above error is barking about).

 

One of my first AVSIM forum posts, I hope I was able to help.

 

Jim

This might be stretching my memory, but if I recall back in FS9 days I came across this same problem when installing a WOAI package.

 

As it turned out one of the files was set to be "read only". A quick change of this and installation went smoothly.

 

Hope you get it sorted out
