Greetings. I am running FS9 on my computer, and my currently-installed FSUIPC module is version 3.7.5.0. I just downloaded and attempted to install version 3.999 into FS9, using the provided auto-installer. Instructions say to place the FSUIPC.exe on my desktop and right-click on it, which should open a dialog box that will say "run as . . . . administrator." This doesn't happen with my machine, for some reason I don't have that option. I am left with opening the installer in the normal fashion. The program runs, then I get this dialog box saying the system can not find the path specified. The path specified is:
EXE Path="C:\New aircraft folder\WORKING TRANSFER FOLDER"
Checking if there's already a version of FSUIPC installed in:
C:\New aircraft folder\WORKING TRANSFER FOLDER\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL
... No previous valid version found.
Failed to place FSUIPC.DLL into folder as "C:\New aircraft folder\WORKING TRANSFER FOLDER\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL"
Error 3 reported ("The system cannot find the path specified. ")
C:\New aircraft folder\WORKING TRANSFER FOLDER is a folder I use when opening aircraft downloads that have installers; I don't like to install anything directly into the sim, I want to review it first before I make that input. This folder has nothing to do with FS9 per se.
My FS9 installation is in my F: drive, specific path is: My Computer/F: Drive/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9. In addition, I have three other FS9 installations on F: drive, each tailored to a specific time frame, the reason being so I don't overload the basic FS9 installation with every aircraft I want to install into the sim. They are kept in a separate hangar and brought over when I desire to fly them. How do I go about opening 3.999 in such a way I can steer it to FS9, at least, and to each of the other FS installations if possible?
