Trouble Installing- 9.1 patch not recognized
« on: April 20, 2009, 08:52:47 pm »
Hi

I downloaded and ran the FS9 9.1 update several months ago, but my version of FS9 still says '9.0'. However, when I go to run the 9.1 update it says that the sim has Already been updated to 9.1.

I found all this out after trying to install the KLAS package for evaluation and purchase. Of course, the installer stops immediately and says that 9.1 patch has not been detected.

Any ideas, as I've been anxious to try the new package since I saw you guys working on it.

thanks for any ideas!

Try to follow the suggestions found in this thread here:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=1332.0

Basically, if you try to update FS9 to 9.1 with files ( FS9.EXE and all the stock .DLL in the MODULES folder ) that weren't the original versions, the update will fail over those file.

Or, the same would happen if you applied a nocd patch to FS9.EXE that wasn't made for FS9.1 but 9.0 instead.

Both situations are quite dangerous for the sim stability because having a mix of 9.0 and 9.1 is probably worse than not having any update installed.

Another way of fixing your installation, might be deleting FS9.EXE, then deleting all the .DLL files in the MODULES folder (ONLY the ones coming from Microsoft, not any 3rd party module) and then inserting the FS9 CD1 and launch setup to Repair the installation, then updating to 9.1

You might also want to try uninstalling the 9.1 patch and reinstalling it as it may have been corrupted. I ran into this issue with the PMDG MD-11 install and had to do exactly what I'm suggesting in order for the installer to recognize that I did indeed have the 9.1 patch.
