Downloaded the inst.file from JustFlight, did the install. and it was ok so far, but when I

started FSX (I saw all the Dash8 in my MSFS meny) then I got the message "A fatal error has occur" or something like that, and FSX shuts down.

What is wrong? anyone else had these problems???

I tryed to install the Dash two more times again and the same thing happend.

Please help, what could be the problem???

I had same sort of problem - fixed with reboot.

Impossible to have a corrupt download but the installer still ran without error. Sounds like either restarting computer, installing as administrator, or not loading a default airplane first.

General information I've picked up over time re corrupt Downloads/Installs

Download with virus checker off/suspended.

UAC off

Use explorer, not Chrome.

Install using Admin Privileges. (virus checker still off)

I'm not sure about firewalls, but I suspend mine for duration of download and install just in case.

It might sound a bit scary, but it's only for a few minutes at a time during download and install. I don't do any surfing etc while security suspended.

I, too, am having this problem.  I have rebooted and made certain to install a default airplane first.  The error first occurs after giving permission for the gauges.  I just now trying to diagnose what I can.

Re-install your Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistrabutibles:

And the service packs: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14431

From what I did, I just rebooted, Ran FSX as an administrator (Also gave it full admin security) and I got it working!

Well than something is seriously wrong with your FSX setup, or your Windows Installation.
