Problem with updater and FSX (run under Windows 10)

[cconesa]

Hi,

I recently had to go back to FSX whilst I wait for more addons being available for P3D v4. I reinstalled the 172, 182 and Boeing 377 to my sim and they all seem to run fine. However, when I use the updater (FSX\A2A folder), I get a message (as per JPG attached) asking me to close the updater. And that is that. I have run the accusim updater (latest version) as administrator so that is not the issue.

Can you please give me a hand or tell me how I can manually update my products?. Thank you.

Christian Conesa.

When you run the updater, are you connected to the internet?

Thanks for the replies and the interest:

Here's the link:

And, yes, connected to the internet and the files download but do not install as per the error shown in the link.

Hi Christian,

Do you have any antivirus app, that might not allow the installation to complete? You may try disabling Windows defender during the installation process or Apps & browser control.

Nope, that's not made any difference. The program gets stuck with a message to close the updating EXE file, which it can't be as it needs to run the rest of the addons.

Are the stand alone updates of the files that I can use?.

Hi Chris,

It might be a futile effort, but have you tried to download a fresh copy of the updater from the link and unzip it once again and try the installation?
There is a slim chance your current one might be corrupted.

Twice,and even a different version but... to no avail. Still stuck with no update.

Hello,

have you restarted your PC before re-trying a new update?

Hi,

Tried everything including resetting my machine and reinstalling everything fresh (with FSX Steam). Try to update and off we go again with the problem.

Isn't there stand alone updates that I can download and install manually?. This is just driving me up the wall.

Oh, by the way, in another computer I have windows 10 with P3D v4.2 and the updates work fine...

Regards,

Christian.

I have found these further facts and strage behaviour...

C172 purchased version (from Simmarket) v1.65, updater shows update to v2.19 and after running it "aircraft.cfg" shows version as v2.14
C182 purchased version (from Simmarket) v2.10, updater shows update to v2.19 and after running it "aircraft.cfg" shows version as v2.14
PA28 purchased version (from Simmarket) v2.00, updater shows update to v2.18 and after running it "aircraft.cfg" shows version as v2.14

The updater needs to be closed via the Task Manager "close application" option in order to run.

When running the updater again after having updated, the program shows as though the version installed is v1.0!

Upon running the update, the C172 autopilot donesn't work properly and as soon as it is switched, the aircraft banks dramatically to the left and aircraft attitude is not maintained either up or down and will not react to inputs from the joystick (i.e. blocked by the autopilot). Interestingly, the NAV (using the GPS) button DOES work, it is just altitude, heading and roll that have the strange behavior.

Seems to me that the problem is related to the update and before anyone asks, yes, I had disabled the anti virus, run the programs as administrators, reinstalled everything from scratch, etc. If I install from the file I downloaded from Simmarket, everything is just fine but... it is just version 1.65.

All of the above is highly frustrating and annoying so I would kindly ask you to give me access to the actual new file version as stand alones so that I can install the aircraft properly and not have this issues. Please help me.

I have the same/very similar situation but when trying to install WOP3 and T6 it stop and says to retry as the administrator? on Windows 10 also have done all the fixes mentioned but to no avail?

[LAG007]

I have resolved this issue, well on mine anyway, I hope this works for you, instead of just disabling windows defender you have to go in and individually turn each protector off, there are five and if you dont have any Family settings it will only be four, once this is done I was able to install my WOP3 and T6 plus updates and it runs great, still have some tweak issues on T6 like throttle etc but will get to those now it is installed, Good luck

cconesa can you please try extracting the updater and then running as admin via right click and selecting run as admin.

thanks,
