Oh well, i 'prepared' everything for the screen shot and 4.02 installed... :shock: :D I'm sorry for the riot, it looks like i just missed the reboot after changing the attribute - i wasn't aware, that this will be necessary !? I guess, I'll never find out why AS 6.5 installed nevertheless. Thanks for your time Pete :oops:

Yes, i am able to copy the installer into the Modules folder. AS 6.5 installed itself into the Modules folder as well. So it can not be write protected. I just get further the 'check read only attributes' error from the FSUIPC 4.02 installer. I will make some screen shots this evening. Well, i don't know if the update is important, AS 6.5 is the only addon for me right now and i am not desperate :D Of course it's a better idea to sort out this problem first.

Thanks for your reply. I tried already to run the installer as admin and i am logged in as admin. I copied the installer into the Modules folder, but got the same error. If programs are not able to write into my FSX folder, the installation of FSUIPC4 and AS 6.5 should have failed as well. That's weird, it looks like it is just the 4.02 update. By any chance, can i download the DLL seperate and install it manual ?

Dear Mr. Dowson. After installing FSUIPC4 and running AS 6.5 without problems, i downloaded today version 4.02. The auto installer is giving a Read Only attribute error. I unchecked 'read only' at the folder options and it was converted but i got the same error again. After checking the folder properties once more, the read only box was marked again. Btw, my whole FSX folder show me read only and don't let me change it. I run FSX and AS 6.5 on a seperate partition without any problems (yet :-)). Hope there's a solution, i can't find a hint in the forum. Thanks for you reply. Heiko

Sorry all :oops: ! I had three different forums open and got lost in the simflight forest... :oops: Sure i wanted to post at ActiveSky support... Please feel free to delete this topic. Thanks for your reply Pete and JSkorna ! Heiko

Dear Pete, yesterday i installed the Build 145 Beta. When i minimize a 'clean' flight and initialize AS everything works fine. I saw your note always to get in windowed mode when doing so. I tried this but after loading the weather i'm not able to bring it back to full screen. A flickering hourglass is the only sign of life and i have to shut down FS9 with the task manager. Unfortunately i can not tell if this happen without Build 145 - i always minimized FS9 without problems... Thanks for any replies and best regards from Thailand Heiko
