Quote 1: I Agree it is wasting, but it gave me a hard backup for the future.
That might be a valid concern if the installer was on a protected link that might expire. But since our installers are always freely available on our site, and there aren't any other installers, WE are keeping your backup for you.
The only thing really valuable is your Serial Number, a backup DVD for our installer is just a waste of money, shipping and plastic. By the time you'll need to reinstall, chances are we might have released an updated installer that you will be able to download freely from here, with no limitations.
Quote 2: It is really true, may be PC Aviator had manipulated the download DVD in such a way that automatic activation is always done (even on fs9.0) as they do not supply a serial number for activation at your site.
Maybe they have put a routine to insert the Serial in the registry for you, so you won't have to *manually* open the Addon Manager to do that, but that doesn't mean you don't have a normal Serial Number for the activation at our (not really "our", but on Esellerate site). You surely have it, in your purchase receipt, and that's what you would have to use if you want to reinstall in the future, since you'll likely want to use an updated installer, in case we'll release one.
Quote 3: I did try again “Register Serial” under the Addon Manager button but as mentioned before I have no receipt from your site with a serial number, I can use.
If you purchased from PC Aviation, is quite normal you don't have a receipt on our site. But you surely have a receipt from PC Aviator, which contains your Serial, and that CAN be used for activation on our site.
Just to be more clear: regardless where you purchase our products, the activation method is just one. The installer is the same and the activation is always happening on Esellerate servers. If you need a reactivation, you will have to contact us in any case, since we can reactivate any Serial, regardless where you purchased it from.
The ONLY thing you can't do is that, in case you LOSE your purchase receipt, is to RETRIEVE a copy of your purchase receipt from Esellerate (the method explained in our FAQ), because you haven't purchase it there, but I believe PC Aviator has a similar procedure.
This must be, I think a contradiction between the download from you site and the DVD download from “PC Aviator” where the installation was also done on fs9.0
(It is really true, I had a new map “FS Dreamteam” in Flightsimulator 9 with three pdf- manuals and the sceneries and textures in it, after the original installation (fs9.0))
The Option “Add-on Manager > Cloud9 > Los Angeles > Documentation” however was empty.
I would need to have a look at that installer. Are you saying that PC Aviator DVD doesn't contain the FSDT installer ? In that case, just download OUR installer.
Quote 7: After running the Addon Manager setup, I can choose between “save”and “execute”. .I tried both, but nothing happened (anyway I could not see anything happening). Also I could not find a change in the menu bar.
What you are asking now doesn't have anything to do with our products but, instead, if BASIC Windows downloading/installing stuff. Those two options are what a browser would usually give you for ANY downloadable program.
The "Execute" option is an option that will allow to execute an installer as soon as it's completed, but it almost never work, and shouldn't be used anyway because, you'll lost the installer since is only there for a limited time in the temporary folder.
The "Save" option is what you want to do but, of course, NOTHING will happen if you "just" Save. You will then need to go to the folder where you Saved into, and THEN double-click on the executable that is there, to RUN it.
I think so, I did download it from “fsdt / fsdreamteam.com” under “Stand alone manager” (“If you want to update the add-on manager to the latest version”) and pushed the button “FS9 Version here” (setup_addonmanager.exe 1,89 MB).
That's the correct link for the FS9 version of the Addon Manager. Now you should see the setup_addonmanager.exe in the folder you downloaded into. Not that this is really needed, KLAX installer, of course, comes with the Addon Manager, at least the FSDT one, so you won't have to update the Addon Manager separately.
If the program on the PC Aviator DVD is so different indeed, that problems cannot be solved by continuing with it, could there be a different approach, may be ?
The issue is, you are saying that you were able to install into FS9.0. Our installer wouldn't allow it so, assuming the PC Aviatior installer allowed it, the scenery won't run on 9.0 anyway so, maybe this is why it doesn't work.
So, is your FS9 NOW updated to 9.1 ? If no, Update it and then install KLAX using our installer.
