Fly the maddog MD-80 launcher problem

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

 

 

Im back today with another problem, remember yesterday i downloaded he maddog from the maddog website (launcher 184Mo) to install it on my new SSD but i don't install it finaly i leaved my computer for some reason.

 

 

Today happy to install it, i execute the maddog launcher and after choose the location for install i have this error "Installation required file missing" when i click next.So i go to the maddog website but im not registered yet cause of manual accept of admins.I see on their forum a guy which encountered the same problem but i relly don't understant very well the issue.

I wonder if you downloaded only the update (SP1) instead of the full aircraft?  If you try to run the update without

 

having the aircraft installed. then it can't find the "installation required file".

Sorry, I think I may have led you astray! 

 

FLY_THE_MADDOG_PRO_SP2.exe - EXE - 184 Mb, purchase code required
Service Pack 2 for FS9 and FSX, version 3.3.

 

I am thinking this is a service pack update for the installed aircraft.  I really have no experience with payware aircraft

 

and all of the updates that go with them.

Yea  I feel your  frustration, this must be  one of  the hardest  places  to navigate   to get  your  installer   since  there  is  no account   page  on where  you can simply  click and  re down load  as per  other  addons  eg  pmdg  and  orbx products.  You can either  use  the support  option  or  if  you have  made  a  back up copy  of  your original download  exe or   if  you have  saved  your  purchase  order  the  exe  will be there
 
 
As  far  I can tell if  you go  to the main page  of  the  maddog  and  the top  box

Fly The Maddog Professional SP2, V3.3 - FS2004 - FSX

> Click here to register Fly The Maddog Professional SP2 <

 

 

think  if  you click on this  and  enter  your  details  eg   serial number  email  etc  you  than will presentd  with the latest installer

 

 

best of  luck
