    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Error 1607 trying to install SDKs from FSX Deluxe Disc 1

Hi everyone. I've been all over the web trying suggestions and nothing works. I can not get the setup.exe from the SDK folder on Disc 1 to install the SDKs. It always stops at a Error 1607 Scripting Runtime. Installshield may be the culprit, as I've read, but it doesn't appear to be on my system where I was instructed to look. Everything else I've ever taken from a disc on this dvd drive, no problem. Is it just the Deluxe Edition Disc1? Wonder if we can get a definitive answer here so that other folks might find this thread and see a solution. Thanks guys.

Hi,
Try copying the SDK folder to your desktop and running setup from there. If you have problems copying the folder do it in Safe mode. Then return to normal mode and run setup.
I'm suspecting a possible conflict with the way the data is encoded on the FSX discs and other software that has disc access capabilities.

EDIT: I was assuming you've tried the suggestions found here:

Thanks, I'll try the safe mode technique and see how that goes. I guess there is no site that hosts the FSX SDK files? I can't seem to fix the 1607 error and tried all the suggestions that didn't try to sell me software. Anyway I'll report back if that was the fix for me. Sure would like to see what's different about them from the FS9 SDKs. I got to know them fairly well when I built my Firefly.

Cheers,
Doug
