The .exe and the .cfg is missing from the "Prepar3D"

Recommended Posts

Here is a strange one, I can not get my head around 

 

I have just done a complete Reinstall of Prepar3D v3.2    The only reason i done a complete Install is because of all the Installing and Uninstalling of the New Installer system whilst writing the Guide.  So after i wrote the Guide and i was finished messing around with the Individual Installers i thought to myself     "Sure ill do a nice clean Install of 3.2 and life will be great.

 

But after i done a complete Uninstall,  Removing everything I then Installed again,  But The .exe is missing from "Prepar3D" in my Core folder,  Also the .cfg is missing from "Prepar3D" in AppData Roaming.  Everything works perfect apart from these missing bits.

 

I have actually Reinstalled 3.2 twice with the same results

 

Am i going mad ?  Is this a new thing with V3.2?  :smile:

Hi Elaine,

 

I updated client+content only so maybe this doesn't apply to my install: sure my Prepar3d.cfg is still there, not sure the .exe (although the desktop shortcut works).

I'm not at my PC right now: will check and report back.

 

Cheers,


Massimo Burti

Elaine - if I understand you correctly, the file is there it's just that it says Prepar3d rather than prepar3d.exe.
