MD-11 installation with Windows 10 is not possible

Featured Replies

Hello, i´m a big Fan of the PMDG MD-11 an 747-400.

Now I have a new Computer with the Windows 10 Operating System and a big problem.

I can´t re install the MD-11 and also the 747-400.

 

The Setup stopps with the following (german) Message:

 

"Das Sicherheitsmodul konnte nicht ordnungsgemäß installiert werden.

Das Programm kann nicht ausgeführt werden."

 

I hope this is the correct translation:

 

"The security module could not be Properly installed.

The program can not be executed."

 

Now i´m hoping for Help trough the creators of this fantastic Aircrafts.

 

Sincerly yours,

Hello Eugen.

I had no trouble installing the MD-11

Make sure that FSX is not installed in &programfiles%, but instead in C:\FSX or D:\FSX and also disable UAC

I installed the MD-11 in my Program Files X86 folder in Win 10 with no problems. UAC is disabled and Jude suggests, but default folder location still worked for me.

In the past, the Installation was never a Problem, only now with Windows 10.

 

I don´t know UAC. Can you explain ?

Just search user accounts in Win 10 in the lower left search bar, you are looking for "Change User Account Control Settings" adjust the slider to full down, (never notify I believe).

The only problem I am having with my MD11 is that the tail is not completely there. The fusalage is there. Just no tail.

Is HIGHMEMFIX=1 inserted in your FSX.cfg?

I can install the MD11 onto my computer with Windows 10 but my problem is that the tail and tail engine do not show.

Is the question (HIGHMEMFIX=1) for me or the original question?

Is HIGHMEMFIX=1 inserted in your FSX.cfg

 

I have looked at my FSX.cfg file and I do have this inserted.
