All,
When installing PFE for the first time don't install into the default location of C:\Program Files.

The installer automatically points to that location,so please to avoid any issues with PFE create your own directory ie:C: and PFE will create a folder called PFE..

Follow this simple instruction and you can avoid a good majority of problems.....

Just to add to Dave's post.

Installing into the C:\Programs File folder only causes issues on Vista and later (Win 7, Win 8, etc) systems, because those operating systems regard that directory as 'protected' and can prevent files from being written and/or updated.

The OLD installer (prior to version 2.15) points to that particular folder because it was written a long time before Vista hit the shelves! Version 2.15 onwards defaults to C:\FS_Addons\PFE

When Installing FDC, do not use the default location of Program Files,as this will cause untold issues...

Any location on your HD will suffice but not the default location,so please override the installer location...thanks
