Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Installed P3D v3 today. When i try to install the PMDG aircrafts (737800900) (777LR) etc, i get a warning: "Unable to locate Prepar3D.eve. Unable to install. 

 

I a´have the latest installer and i unpacked it in the same drive where i have my Prepar3D installed.

 

 

What should i do?

PMDG looks for P3D entries in your registry.  If no entries in your registry your P3Dv3 is not properly installed.  How did you get P3Dv3 installed without an entry in your registry?

This could be a UAC file redirection issue, too.  Make sure UAC is turned off.

Do you have other versions of p3d installed on your disc?

Nope

PMDG looks for P3D entries in your registry. If no entries in your registry your P3Dv3 is not properly installed. How did you get P3Dv3 installed without an entry in your registry?

Dont understand what you mean. I installed P3D without any errors etc. I have successfully installed other addons such as Aerosoft Airbus 320/21.

This could be a UAC file redirection issue, too. Make sure UAC is turned off.

Already Done that. No luck...:/

And your PMDG 737/777 are redownloaded 2015-10-01 or later with the P3D v3 installers?

"Dont understand what you mean. I installed P3D without any errors etc. I have successfully installed other addons such as Aerosoft Airbus 320/21" How did you do that, it´s NOT compatible with P3D v3?

 

Take a look in the registry (type regedit in the MS search box), go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Lockheed Martin/Prepare3D v3 and see if the AppPath is pointing to the right drive and folder, where your P3D v3 is installed.

If you have 2.5 installed you must uninstall the pmdg product from 2.5 fist. It only supports either, not both at same time.

Hmm okay. The enttr looks fine but something else makes me confusing. look here: https://gyazo.com/5eeea6a27384b29940600250f77218a9   I don't have P3D v2 installed or v1. Seems like it thinks so.

Seems something in your registry is wrong. Delete the entry for V2 and the one for V3 that doesn´t have a valid path assigned. If that doesn´t help i`m afraid only a reinstall will fix the problem. BUT remember to uninstall P3D first in a correct way.
