Fatal error when installing GSX

<< < (2/2)

Umberto,

I know this is an old post but recently I lost my HDD and have been forced to reinstall P3D. When installing airport scenery I get a Setup popup "Fatal error during installation". Behind the installation window the install point is the Simconnect Client. I clear the message and the installation continues. Live Update runs and on launching the sim, the scenery seems to be intact without errors. Even though the message indicates a major failure for simconnect to install, it proceeds nonetheless and following LU the ship seems to self-rights itself.

Any idea on how to mitigate the error window to start with? I followed other threads on this topic and none of the recommendations seem to have an affect.

Best regards,
Howard

Yes, that message is not coming from our installer, it's coming from the Simconnect own installer we just launch during the installation, which is the FSX-SP2 Simconnect redistributable, located here:

\Prepar3D v5\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib

However, with 64 bit P3D, having the FSX Simconnect properly installed is not affecting our products, since we have been moving to use the native 64 bit Simconnect a while ago so, even if the FSX redistributable is always useful to have, a problem with it won't affect our products.
