x plane 11 demo

[mukiwa 0]

Good Day all

Having been an msfs flyer for years I decided to have a look at xplane

I have downloaded the xplane 11 demo but when I double click the installer exe it opens briefly and then I get the message "xplane 11 installer.exe has stopped working"

I can get the xplane9 demo to run but get the above message when I try xplane 10 OR 11.

I am running --

asus p8z77 m/b

i5 2500 cpu 3.3ghz

ram 8gb ddr3 1600

gtx660 o/c 4gb

2x 128 ssd=1x itb hdd

Is there anyone out there can tell me why I cannot get the demos for 10 and 11 to install

Thanks

Try checking your anti-virus/firewall and make sure it is allowing XP to run

Also try running it in Administrator mode.

Also as with all thing like this also look in the Windows event viewer to see if you can see a cause.

Good Day

Many thanks for the replies, have now cracked it but I do not know how. I finished up re installing MS W7 from original disc and xplane 11 demo downloaded and installed without hesitation so I guess it must have been a setting somewhere in the original W7 set up.
