Hi Guys,

 

First of all, I should mention that I have not yet installed FSX-SE, and am only (re)installing the PMDG777 in FSX-MS (original version). I know that in my situation, it was not necessary to update, but you know...

 

I have downloaded the new SP1d full installers for the 777-200LRF Base package and the 777-300LR Expansion. I have also uninstalled the older versions of the 777.

 

The 777-200LRF base package installs without a problem, but the 777-300ER package will not.

 

The installer allows me to select the version I am installing to, in this case "FSX Version - Original Microsoft Distribution" but when I select install I get a message that says "PMDG777-200LRF Base Package does not appear to be installed for one of the sims you selected" and the installer shuts down.

 

I have fired up FSX to confirm that the 777-200LRF has actually installed without any issues, and it's there in all it's glory.

 

Is anybody else seeing the same problem with installation of the 777-300ER expansion into FSX-MS?

 

Thanks

I had this problem too, in the option for choosing the simulator, haveing both boxes ticked in the installer allowed the installation of the 777-300. I only have FSX:SE on my pc, but i had to check the box in the installer for FSX:MS and SE for it to install.

 

Hope this helps

Glen - You are the man!!!

 

It worked.

 

Thanks,

Downloaded and installed without deleting/uninstalling SP1c and just installed over the top. Verified in the OC, SP1d confirmed. All working as per normal. No issues here in FSX. Don't have SE nor do I envisage getting it.

The only difference I see between your situation and mine is that I uninstalled the old 777's first - perhaps that has something to do with it...

 

I'm going to give FSX-SE a shot next time I clean up my system - see what the hype is all about.

I had to edit the registry key for FSX:SE to install the 777-200base, it could'nt find the fsx registry....Had to rename it to Flight Simulator, Changed from Flight Simulator - Steam Edition
