JD:I have downloaded and attempted to upgrade to version 4.3 but get the following message during upgrade:documents and settingsRober DemarestLocal settingsTemprcv3.dat was not found. RC cannot continue.A check of the above directory confirms there is no rcv3.dat file, but removed rcv3 some time ago when I upgraded to RC4I have verified I am currently running RC4.2 (build 3831).Need some direction on what I should do next. I do have both copies RC3 & RC4 on CD's.any help would be appreciated.ThanksBob DemarestBirmingham, AL.

did you put the rcv4.exe into the rcv4 directory? is there a rcv3.dat file in your rcv4 directory?

JD:Yes, the rc4.exe is in my RC4 directory and there is indeed a rcv3.dat file in this directory as well. Do I need to copy to the other directory?

is there a shortcut you're double clicking somewhere pointing to another directory?what happens if you double click the rcv4.exe in the directory that has the rcv3.dat file in it?jd

problem is solved, and it's my mistake. Apparently I should retake that typeing class I took early in High School. The problem was telling RC4 where my FS9 directory was, on my system it's actually called Flight Simulator 9 and not FS9.
