cannot install pmdg 737 ngx

[morato96 0]

hello, I just bought the Boeing 737 pmdg ngx. Once I extract the files and right click on the PMDG 737 8900 NGX and run as an administrator, I get the following message, Unable to locate fsx.exe Unable to install. Could you please help me out, since I have no idea what to do about this?

run regedit

 

go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0

 

double click SetupPath

 

place the location of FSX in there, e.g.:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\

 

With Explorer Properties, Security, "Edit" and Add "Write" and "Modify" permissions for the "Users" group on that folder, allow subfolders.

 

Install PMDG

Hi there, sorry to bother you again, I have followed the instruction of the manual and can´t install the liveries at all. In fact on the livery manager I can see installed as an example the scandinavian airline related to the 800NGX model, but once I open FSX, the modelled plane for the scandinavian airline is not there at all. I muest be doing something wrong, since I have no idea what else I can do to get this resolved. Regards

Have you ticked the box  that says show all variants?

[morato96 0]

I installed the PMDG planes 737, no problem with that, what do you mean with the box that says show all variants, where should I ticket this?, I don´t know whay you mean

[pete_auau 1,152]

In you fsx aircraft selection area, on the bottom of  the box  of all the aircraft is  a box  with show all aircraft tick this




Hopes this help other than coming around and doing this for you

[morato96 0]

yes, I have that box ticked

I had that box already ticked

on the livery manager programme, the clickable box that says select livery to install and the box below are kind of blurry.

Have you got something like this in your ngx   under simobjects/airplanes/aircraft cfg

[morato96 0]

No, I don´t, I only have the cfg files for the default planes, what really strikes me is that of the programme manager I can see one airline that I suppossedly installed (on the installed liveries box)

[pete_auau 1,152]

Going by my post above  have you got  the pmdg  and your liverly showing  and  did you click  the install as well  and  are  you running  as admin   and have uac  turned off

 

 

Your not trying  to install a   600 livery to a  800  are you by any chance
