773 installer error P3D V4

[FlyH300 0]

Hey guys,

I just downloaded the new installer for the 773 and when I install it I get : Installation cannot continue, your registry does not show a valid Prepar3d installation location.

I had no issues with installing the 772.

my p3d installation is on J:

win 10 pro

p3d v4

anyone have a solution for this ?

You sure you got the latest installer?

When you downloaded the installer, did you choose to overwrite your old one? If you did, I made the same mistake.  Delete the old one completely, THEN download the new one (or place in a new directory).

this was on a fresh system installation. so no old files.

Just realized - you mentioned you downloaded it from Aerosoft.....they may take longer to update their database with new versions as compared to downloading from PMDG directly.
