KeithHodkinson Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hi Have just reinstalled P3Dv4 (after full proper de-installation). Cannot get FSUIPC5 (paid version and latest V5.11) to install: Failed to place FSUIPC5.DLL into folder as "C:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Modules\FSUIPC5.DLL" Error 5 reported ("Access is denied. ") Full install log attached. Purchased from SimMarket Order No 1674677 Thanks for your assistance. Keith Hodkinson FSUIPC5 Install.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something else created it, or it didn't get deleted when you last uninstalled? Try these things: 1. Run the Installer in admin mode (right click on the EXE and select "run as ..." and select administrator. That should do it. If not: 2. If there is a modules folder, right click on it, select Properties, uncheck "Read-only" if it is set, then the "Security" tab, the "Edit" for the Group/user name, and add Everyone (if it isn't there), then when that's confirmed, check "Allow" for "Full control" and "modify" below. If that doesn't work at all I can only think making the P3D folder itself accessible in the same way as in 2 above, but that's rather drastic. I can say that such a problem has NEVER arisen before, in any version of FSUIPC since the Installer was first introduced. (Long ago it was a completely manual job).

KeithHodkinson Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks Pete for your very rapid response! Have struggled with this for several hours. The initial problem was a rogue registry entry from my previous P3Dv4 installation which was misleading your installer as to the correct (new) installation path. I think one of the things I must have tried to get your installer to work was to create manually the Modules folder. Once I deleted that and ran your installer again as Administrator.. BINGO! Thank you, wishing you all the best! Keith Hodkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
