Hi

 

I really need some help with this problem. I am in the middle of a fresh install of FS9 onto my new Win7 64-bit computer and everything has been going very well until now. I have followed all of the advice in these forums and have had the User Account Control switched off (slider to the very bottom) continuously since I started installing various addons about 3 weeks ago and my FS9 is not on C:\Program files ..... but I am installing it on a separate drive (D:\FS Games\FS9) as all the threads have advised. I have already installed a very large amount of addon scenery with no problems (FS9 has already grown to almost 100GB) and it all has functioned perfectly on testing each scenery as I add it. Now however I have started to get the following error message on the opening window of FS9 as soon as I start it up:

 

"You do not have permission to install new files on this computer. Please have an administrator log on to complete the scenery installation."

 

This first occurred while I was in the process of installing some Aerosoft German airport scenery addons (although I had previously installed other Aerosoft scenery addons with no problems). I have not changed any settings as far as I am aware and the UAC is still turned off, so I do not know why this has suddenly started to occur. I should add that the scenery folders all appear correctly in FS9, there is an appropriate entry in the scenery cfg and also in the Scenery Library, but the airports are just not visible when I do a test flight there.

 

I have tried to find a solution to this in the forums but to no avail and any help would really be appreciated as I do not know where to go from here!

 

Many thanks,

Bill

Have a look in:- Control Panel/User Accounts/Change Account Type.....and check you are still listed as the Administrator and not Standard. Change if necessary. Hope that is of some help....the answer will be in that region somewhere.

Thank you. Oddly the whole problem resolved itself overnight after turning the PC off, so I am still no wiser as to why it happened! I subsequently uninstalled and reinstalled the Aerosoft scenery that I was trying to install when the problem occurred and everything worked without a hitch. The only thing that I can possibly think of is that I may have installed two scenery areas in a row, without restarting FS9 with each installation, as I normally do and perhaps that caused the problem in some way. Thank you again for taking the trouble to reply.

You're welcome Bill. Glad you are all sorted now.
