Title: JFK v2 installer does not see P3d v3.5
Post by: Mower on September 06, 2016, 02:43:19 am

Hi guys, I have the latest FSDT JFKV2 installer and it does not see my licensed P3D.

Antivirus is disabled.

What files is it looking for?  I had to make some alterations to the P3D executable to get Ultimate Traffic 2 and TIR to work, it's now called P3D.exe.  However, changing that file back to it's default name made no difference.  What exactly is the installer looking for?

I have FSX SE installed and the installer sees that.

Cheers.

The P3D registry keys should point to the correct folder AND a Prepar3d.exe executable, of the correct version  (meaning=not manually altered) must be there.

If the installer doesn't see your P3D, it can only due to one of the following, or a combination of all of them:

- The P3D registry key is not pointing to the folder you have installed P3D.

OR

- The executable is not named Prepar3D.exe

OR

- The file version of the Prepar3D.exe.exe doesn't match a supported version. The installer doesn't care about the build, it only checks if the major version is 1, 2 or 3 for P3D.

Understood.  Thanks for the quick reply.  I will check these issues and advise back.

"- The executable is not named Prepar3D.exe"

That resolved the installer not finding my P3D v3.

Now I ran into a new issue during install that a forum search didnt find a fix.

Yes, this has been discussed here, and it's a result of your XML file being corrupted, either by another faulty installer, or by having edited by hand, see here:
