Looks like you guys are having permission problems. I t looks like it cannot find your fsx ?

try the registry repair tool and see if it works http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

Is not working . I'm still having the same problem

[DarrianCZE 6]

Yep. Same here

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the 777?

[DarrianCZE 6]

Not yet. But I will try.

[rmhoman 20]

did you copy the file out of the zip folder to a place like your desktop. what happens is that when running directly from the zip folder it puts the information in a temp folder which has lower permission. recommend copying the file to say your desktop and try running it from there.

[DarrianCZE 6]

Yep. Reinstallation worked :-)

Getting the same error; registry tool didn't fix it. Trying to avoid a reinstall...

If it is not a permission issue from unpacking then I am not sure your going to be able to avoid an uninstall.  You have a permissions issue or registry issue with the path.  

 

One note, I am typing from 36,000ft in an 737-800 NG.  How cool is that?

Ok, that's fine then, a reinstall is not a big deal. My main concern is losing my hotkeys. If I keep my 777X_Shortcuts.ini file and put it back in after a reinstall, they should be restored, correct? 

[falcon999 24]

I will leave that to Ryan to answer for sure.  You can try, just backup the original so you can put back if there is an issue.

I am having the same problem, and also hope I can avoid a reinstall as I dont have a backup copy...
