When attempting to run the update I get an error about half way through that reads "the system cannot find the path specified".  I see no way to manually find or change the path, though I believe it's correct.  Also, the flight deck is now half black textures, and half normal in appearance.  Any idea how to fix this short of a complete reinstall?  Thanks.

Chuck, this might be one of those registry errors that are easily fixed running the registry repair tool (as admin) free from Flight1.
