Hello,

I'm pretty sure I de-activated P3D v4.5 Academic when I uninstalled the program to resolve an issue, to double the RAM and upgrade the hard disk. When I tried to re-install, by individually launching the *.exe and the *.msi files; I received a message indicating that the Setup was successful. However, I could not locate the P3D icon on the desktop (Win 10 Pro, 64-bit with lots of space on all drives. I am logged in as an administrator.). Looking into the install folder I noticed that there were no files in the root folder (the total folder size including the subfolders is about 26+ GB). I've done this a couple of time and each time I get a set-up successful message but the files continue to be missing.

Help! Thank you.

Issue is solved by posting and replies at the LM website. The solution was, in addition to uninstalling and de-activating P3D, to also do the same for the many add-ons that I had installed.
