Title: cannot run FSDT live update - hosts access denied error **SOLVED**
Post by: EHAM611 on November 27, 2020, 10:52:16 am
Hello there,

This morning I downloaded and installed Chicago O'Hare for P3Dv4.
When I load the scenery some terminal building are (partially) missing.
Terminal 5 is completely missing for example, and terminal 2 only shows light poles.

I read on this forum that running the live update should fix this problem, however I am not able to run it.
When I run the updater (as administrator) I keep on getting the following error massage:

''Your Windows hosts file cannot be read, the update cannot continue/
Access to the path C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is denied.

I already put the path above in the exclusion list of my antivirus software, as the path of the addon manager.
I have no idea what I can do now to make it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PC is running on Windows 10
P3D version 4

I tried, however I still cannot get it to work.
The first option the website says is to open the hosts file with notepad, but I already cannot do that.
Any tips on how to get this working?

Use option number 4 on that site, to regain the access that crack/virus you installed has denied from your user account.
