Many years ago I purchased FDC Live Cockpit from Aerosoft to replace my original disc copy which had become defective. Aerosoft direct me here for assistance with a new problem. I have used it for many years with FS2004 and more recently with FSX, without problem.
I recently installed Active Sky 16 and since doing so, every time I run FDC it starts up a dialog searching for the installation files to install AS16! I'm not sure why, AS16 was working fine but I have removed and reinstalled AS16 as a precaution.
So I am now trying to reinstall FDC but even with downloading the current version from Aerosoft, this has proved impossible.
I have to run the install file as administrator - not a problem.
It confirms my registration code is correct.
It detects my system as Vista when it is Windows 7
It refuses to recognise my current version of FSUIPC4 and stops the install unless I remove it and let it install a much older version
It asks for my FSUIPC registration code when I am on the free version, so I have to click on Cancel.
It then whirls a lot of messages about installation past (unreadable) but when I go to the chosen install directory (not program files!) it is completely empty so it isn't installing any files at all!
Any ideas?
