FSUIPC7v7.3.19 Extract: error writing to file installing and registering FSUIPC7.pdf

[Tawich]

I'm trying to reinstall FSUIPC after MSFS SU12 and I couldn't reinstall due to error message "FSUIPC7v7.3.19 Extract: error writing to file installing and registering FSUIPC7.pdf" Can anyone help?  Already tried redownloading the installation file but didn't work.

Is that error when running the installer or when unzipping the zip file downloaded?
Probably the former, and this is usually due to the file already being open when you are trying to install.,

Hi,

Error was during running the installer. I did a PC reboot and ran the installer again and got the same error.  Tried not selecting FSUIPC7.pdf also didn't work. Same error.

 

Thanks for responding.

Where are you getting the installer from - www.fsuipc.com?

There is no such option - there is only FSUIPC7 Documentation (containing User Manuals and Lua Documentation). Are you saying that you get the same error when you deselect this? I cannot see how that can be...

Are you extracting/unzipping the downloaded file before running the installer?

I really don't understand this issue - if there is an InstallFSUIPC7.log file generated, please show me that. Otherwise, can you take a screenshot of this error or maybe even a short video of the installation process and show me that.

Hi, 

I finally got it to install. I found out that FSUIPC wasn't uninstalled properly. My drive still had FSUIPC folder from previous installation. After I ran another uninstall, I managed to install the new one.

 

Many thanks.

Ok..strange though. The installer should automatically detect the previous installation and uninstall that before proceeding...

Yes, it did and I uninstalled it,  The process went through re-installtion thereafter the un-insallation completed and I received the error.  All resolved now, many thanks.

Sorry, it was FSUIPC7 Documentation option, I couldn't remember the exact wordings.  I thought the pdf file in there was the culprit.  All resolved now, thank you.
