ark1320 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 John, When I try to run the batch file to start MSFS and FSUIPC7 I get the below. I am using the latest Win10 OS. MSFS was a standard MS store purchase. Any ideas? Thx, Al EDIT: Got the shortcut to work -- had to set it to Run as Administrator. Might be good to add that in the ReadMe file as something to try if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange error though - looks like your Path isn't being set correctly (but it is for Admins). cmd.exe should be in c:\Windows\System32, which should be in your path....

I wondered about the c:\Windows\System32 part of the path in the FSUIPC7 bat file because I had been using a short cut (posted in the AVSIM MSFS Forum) to start MSFS that uses the path C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -FastLaunch However, as shown below, the path in the FSUIPC7 bat file starts with "just" cmd.exe. Perhaps that is OK, I just don't know. Al :: remove CMD window if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0" %* && exit :: MS Store Installation: start MSFS with FastLaunchcmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -FastLaunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that doesn't use the full path either. Really, that folder should be on the path so the cmd.exe is found, but I guess I can add the full path to make it more resilient. In your case, you should definitely add it so that you don't need to run it as Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
