FlySimWare installer app - problems (again)

Featured Replies

Trying to install the latest (0.2.6) version of the Legacy and more problems with their downloader.

Anyone else seeing this, trying to download and install the latest version?

This is the 3rd version that I've been unable to install, due to a possible corrupt source file at their server side.

I'm getting fed up with their installer - seems really unstable.

It doesn't help that the full file has to be installed on each update (almost daily), the file is 4.66Gb and is quite slow to download (even when working).

You might like to explore where the installer is trying to install. I had similar issues with the latest Kodiak installer until I discovered that MSFS 2024 now wants Community content installed via an xboxgames folder rather than the old location. When I pointed it to that folder, it installed without errors.

Updated to v0.2.6 of the Legacy just now, working fine here and I've never really had any problems with their installer, it's been pretty stable and easy. Have you double-checked your download paths in the settings and also confirmed you've got plenty of disk space? And are you on the current version of the installer?

Every time I have a problem, it seems to be tied to needing to download the latest installer version.

once I do that, it’s golden.

I’ve noticed that the 5gb re-download seems to be going much faster the last several updates.

What’d be great is if they could either license the Infinity Simulations installer (the T-38c team), or make theirs work the same.

Yes, I've noticed that too. But with this one, there was no new version available and I'm on the latest.

Just got it from work so going to try it again 👍

FIXED!

I had plenty of storage on my C drive, but the issue seems to have been with the TEMP location that is set in the FSW installer app. When I changed that location, the install worked 😎

The same temp location had worked fine for the last 10 or so updates, but after installing the latest version of the installer, it didn't like it. But all sorted now. Thanks for the help guys!

BTW. Does anyone know if Momo has figured out to let us know when the installer has to be updated? (Other than a message somewhere on Discord...where it is hard to find that a message is not there.)

If there is one the installer itself will say 'update available', bottom left near the version number.
