Have you used the updater on the website? ( http://www.x-plane.com/downloads/x-plane_10_installer-updater/ , at the end of the page)

 

What is the precise error message the installer gives you?

 

After trying to update, you should have a file called "X-Plane Installer Log.txt" (in the same folder of the installer). Can you copy and paste the content of the file here?

yes i tried using the updater. the site does not load . is this the case for you also?

Installer and the website works fine for me. That's strange. However, can you paste here the content of the file "X-Plane Installer Log.txt"?

 

are u sure ? i can visit the website but i can not download the installer. when i click on windows installer it eventually times out


never mind fixed it. for what ever reason i had to load a virtual os. download the update on there and then drop it off in dropbox. not sure why that happened. but it looks like its updating now

I don't know if it's the cause of the problem, but you're using an old installer. If you cannot download the one from the X-Plane.com website, try downloading and using this one (it's the same):

 

http://dev.x-plane.com/update/installers10/

 

Of course, download the one named: "X-Plane10InstallerWindows.zip"
