I don't know why I have a shared copy. Thats the way the desktop copy installed. I assume "shared" meant it uses the other copy (Original reinstall) that is in the "C" drive which is already renamed "fs9.exe. I prefer the desktop copy as it runs perfectly with all the updates and scenery downloads. Thanks.

Hello. I have a question on how to use one original install of FS2004 (FS9) in the "C" drive of OS Win7 64bit. And another install of updated copy saved to disk (DVD) which I installed on desktop. I check the Scenery files from orig. install and go to "Cities" and open open "Properties" "sharing" and it shows they are not shared. I do the same in the desktop copy and it shows they are shared. I only did this kind of install because my updated FS2004 crashed, but not before I saved it to a DVD. The copy I saved to DVD is the updated FS2004 version 9.1 plus the new World Trade Center scenery, the new Gibraltar scenery plus all the add on bridges. I lost all the updates when it FS9 crashed. So I reinstalled FS2004 using the 4 disks, downloaded update to ver. 9.1 but couldnt remember how to reinstall the new scenery. So I just installed another copy on desktop from my DVD. Now I want to install a new scenery update for the Stmaarten airport. Im afraid if I delete the reinstalled copy in the "C" drive then the copy I have on desktop wont work anymore. So do I have to install the new Stmaarten scenery in both copies? Or just the desktop copy since it is a shared copy. Thankyou from fontuckydick
