FSX-MS Trouble Installing REX

[Dan newitt 0]

The problem with REX is its an Manual install and you have to know where to install the file.I have both and flight environment wins for me as its so easy to install not like REX to complex for people who dont know much aboutmanual installing.  I spent 6 hours last night trying to get REX working and at 2am i give up! I done what the REX told me to do and still no textures and runway markings just the default weather. I think i will get my money back on REX. My comment to REX make REX easier to install!

Yes, you are right Jim so I split these posts off to a new topic.  The OP was responding to an old FEX vs REX topic for those who might be interested.

I just reinstalled REX4 - Texture Direct last night and had no problems installing it (but then I do know some things about computers and stuff).  The following was taken from their manual and it seems to me to be very clear cut as to where you install the program:

 

 

In addition to that guidance I would right click the setup.exe program and then select Run as Administrator (I believe the guide has that recommendation too, just not in the above).  There is really nothing different from this guidance and the guidance for installing FEX or any Addon Program.  I'm glad you came here and posted your issues.  A lot of people simply give up when there are sometimes simple solutions.  Hope this helps!  Give it another go!

 

Best regards,
