Add ons for FSX

[dingwadow]

I am trying to install two plane add ons from abacus that i bought. But when the installer tries to install it into the game folder, i get error code 1925, ( i need administrative privaliges) but i am on the admin. account. so how do i fix this? i have seen pts about the UAC settings, but i cant find that at all. Thanks for any help!

Hello dingwadow,
Try installing these add on's as an administrator, right click the the installer .exe and choose "run as administrator".
Give this a try and post your results, good luck.

I have tried that. there is nothing to right click though. it is being run through install sheild... and i cant right click on anything when it is going throught the install process. so i thought maybe that changing the uac setting would help, but like i said, i cant find that setting.

Is this on a DVD ?, right click the the install shield icon on the DVD and try that.

no, this is a download from the web site. its a hyperlink in my email, and then starts the download from there....

Do you get the choice of saving the file to another folder or maybe saving to disk ?.

yah, i can can to folder. i will try that out.

1. Launch MSCONFIG from the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line.
3. Press the Launch button.
4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window.
5. Close MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

You can re-enable UAC by selecting the "Enable UAC" line and then clicking on the Launch button.

Just in case you need to disable UAC.
