    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.

FSX-install on new WinX laptop won't go

Hi all,

When I try to install FSX on my new WinX laptop from official Microsoft disks, it stays hanging by "removing applications".
As I thought that it might be a disk problem, I copied everything that is on disks to an USB-stick, but that gives the same result.

Suggestions welcome,

You just need to be patient when it says 'removing applications' .
This process can take 20-30 minutes. Setup will then continue as normal.

Regards, Stuart.
 
Be sure to install FSX outside of the default, "C:\Program Files" folder. Installing in the default location can lead to issues with the security MS placed on the Windows core folders. You might also want to look at FSX: Steam Edition, it's installer plays nicer with Windows 10 and it is more optimized for Windows 7 and later operating systems.
 
YESSSSSSSSSS! I made it :biggrin-new::biggrin-new:.

Indeed, a looooooooooooooooot of patience (35 minutes) AND on the D-drive and finally the disk gave up and began installing....

PHEW

Thanks guys!!!!!!!
