I recently purchased the full copy of FSUIPC7.

After installing it to the default location, I got a desktop icon created. However, when I click on the icon to run FSUIPC7, I get the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

NB: Prior to this I was using the beta with no problems whatsoever.

The shortcut the installer creates points to a batch file in the installation directory. Go to that directory and create a shortcut to the .exe file instead and use that one.

Happy flying,

@ffantasy67 Thanks for that quick response. That will definitely work!

In the last few minutes, I also discovered that the batch file itself, had security settings that did not allow full control. I granted full control to 'everyone', and now clicking on the icon works.

Thanks again, skipper!!
