August 11, 20178 yr Pretty much what it says. Whenever I try to install I get these errors. For the 737 6700: Feature transfer error Feature: FSX Version - Original Microsoft Distribution Component: Ops Center File: <FOLDER_SIM2>\ Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. For the 772 and 744 installer: Feature transfer error Feature: FSX Version - Original Microsoft Distribution Component: DEM File: <FOLDER_SIM2>\ Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. I managed to install the 737 8900 just fine. For whatever reason these wont work. It's not installing to C: and I'm running the installers as admin. Not really sure what's up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Jon Kraft
August 11, 20178 yr The previous versions have to be removed with the windows control panel before installing new versions. You didn't mention doing that so I cannot assume you did. Dan Downs KCRP
August 11, 20178 yr This may possibly have something to do with certain Windows folders being locked -possibly due to an installer or uninstaller that crashed before completing its tasks. I know there is a utility program that can fix this, because I have seen this mentioned on the Aerosoft forums recently, but I don't know the exact name. Googling "Feature Transfer Error" may point you in the right direction, or someone more knowledgeable will chime in here...
