I re-installed AIG's Traffic Controller recently (latest version). When I tried to run the Traffic Controller, I got a message that it wanted to do an update. When I said OK, it said that it couldn't do the update if I had started Traffic Controller from P3D and asked me to shut it down. I ended up in a loop. I finally did so by disabling the Add-On menu item for the traffic controller. When I did the reinstall and update, my anti-virus reached out and grabbed an item named update.bat but otherwise seemed OK. When I sent back to the Add-Ons in P3D, AIG Traffic Controller was there but its menu item had been changed to c:\Windows\System 32.  I could select it but not change it and when I went back to it, the selection was turned off.

What am I doing wrong? Is it something that the update.bat does?

Thanks,

Can you start Traffic Controller and then update it that way, without launching p3d?

I would also exclude all P3d main and addon folders so your anti virus leaves them alone. 

That is the standard message.  Shut down TC.

All it wants you to do is close P3D. (You might have to wait a while for it to shut down completely.

Then find update.bat in your AIGTC folder. (Just do a search if you don't know where you put it). and run it. 

When it is done, usually a couple of seconds, run P3D as normal. TC will then load from the .xml and you will not hear from it till the next time.
