Eureka Pete,
many thanks for trusting me, i got there (even though i didn't know what was "a separate small file" and what was the "installer download").
So i downloaded both; couldn't install the dll, realised it was SMALL , so installed the other one. To then see that Bullguard had 'quarantined' it. But i have worked around that and now successfully updated to 4.948. Excellent!
FSX, via FSPS Booster, now runs fine; particularly enjoying A2A Piper Commanche.
Largely through self-inflicted confusion, senior moment etc, but partly in the position of one comma in the simflight forum 'advertising your upgrade'
"... 4.948 only, ....".
Privileged to have correspondence, Pete. Congratulations on this worldwide success!
