I replied to your question, there's no such thing as a "canned" response here, I simply forgot of that issue, also because it lasted only a few days after release (KDFW was released August 6th 2010, the installer was already fixed the next day).

I surely noted you said you don't have KLAS on your machine, but that didn't automatically mean you *never* had it before, which is why I've said to be sure nothing was left of it, which is very easy situation to end up, if you uninstall FS9 without uninstalling *all* addons first (the FS9 uninstaller will only remove what was installed by it so, if you reinstall it in the same folder, you'll end up with leftover files)

The updated was announced on the forum, here:

And was released just 3 days after the main product.

Opa:
Thanks once again - I must apologize for the way I worded my last response.

It just seemed that the initial response was much like one gets when one calls telephone support for many products these days - an answer read from a script.

I will check the update.  

As always you have been very helpful and prompt to respond also.  It is much appreciated.

I got -trial version of Flightbeam KSFO has started. I emailed them and I just got an email from them, that said there was a bug with old FSDT addon manager and I should install new one.

Yes, similar issue, but exactly the same.

In case of KDFW, we included a file coming from KLAS by mistake in the installer, with KFSO it was the opposite, we haven't listed a file in KSFO which the Addon Manager needs to check to know if the scenery is *really* installed, and not activate when the user simply enters the area.

In any case, we fix these things usually a couple of hours after discovering them, KDFW and KSFO were fixed the next day they were released and, since all the installers download the latest version of the Addon Manager automatically when they start, it's usually enough to just reinstall the scenery.

HOWEVER, in case of KDFW, the scenery was ALSO significantly updated, it was not just a matter of fixing this very minor issue, which is why, in THIS case, I've told the user to download the scenery again, since he was using the original release, but the current 1.0.3 it's a lot better so, it's not a good idea to get the updated Addon Manager only, but to update the scenery as well.
