Hi Gang

 

I just tried to do the v2.4 update patch and got this pop up near the end of the installation..  

 

Could not write value COMPLETE to key

\Products\A#####################################D\Features

Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personel 

 

I hid my key. What am I doing wrong. The patch is run under my admin permissions.

I am a registered P3D owner. I did a full fresh v2.3 installation.

 

Thanks

Ken

 

Did you follow Rob Ainscough's 2.3 ---> 2.4 patch procedure step by step?

Yes, I did.

Just a suggestion, you may need to just uninstall and reinstall the complete v2.4. That is what I did and and have no problems, however I do not have any 3rd party add on software. I will not add any scenery or aircraft til LM gets everything sorted out. That may be a while.

 

Cheers

Hi Ken,

 

There is now a way to update from v.2.3 to 2.4:

BTW, no need to hide that key. Those of us who have seen the error message are now sick of seeing it. To my knowledge, there are only two - the one you are seeing as an Academic licence holder and a second specific to to the Professional version of P3D.

Ok, thanks guys.  Looks like an UNinstall/Install is in order.

 

I am a little disappointed LM hasn't managed to make the updates easier. Why are other big complicated programs

so easy to update while P3D can be (is) a total pain?

It makes me think twice about adding other addons knowing that I'll probably have to do a complete reinstall each time they bring out a new version!

 

But at least they offer a proper uninstallation option unlike Orbx/FTX.

ORBx probably can't get their heads around why anyone would want to uninstall one of their products

Hi Ken,

 

Before rushing to uninstall/reinstall v2.3 why not give this a try:

Worked perfectly for me....and I have a load of Addons installed.

 

At first sight the post may seem a little daunting but, in fact, the actual steps to patch successfully are quite few and straightforward. On writing the guide I found it difficult to know at what level it should be pitched as computer literacy varies enormously. Hopefully, I have erred on the safe side.

 

Nothing to be lost by giving it a shot, and think of the time saved! You will still have the Uninstall/reinstall option.

 

Cheers!

Mike

When I got that message I just clicked "ignore".

 

As far as I can tell, the patch applied itself OK, & I have not  noticed any problems with T3P add-ons.

Same here, removed 2.3 then did a complete fresh install of 2.4, works fine with no issues - has to be the best way
