Sorry, but we are back at the start. If the installer can't add the scenery automatically on the Scenery Library, then something is wrong already.

I really don't know what to do next, except you are the only one having this problem, in the 3+ years Zurich has been out.

And, as I've said, all the scenery installers are doing exactly the same thing so, there's no reason why they would behave differently from each other.

I suggest you start from scratch, maybe by reinstalling Windows because, obviously something wrong is going on with your system.

When you started this thread, 5 days ago, you said you just did that, because you had an hard disk crash.

Can you try doing it again, install just your video drivers and FS9 with the 9.1 update and any one of our sceneries, without adding or doing anything else ?

Umberto,

I deinstalled all sceneries and the Flight Simulator now
3 times - Left only active Sky evolution and fscommamder -

Than reinstalled fs 9 - upgraded to fs 9.1 and Started only with the
FS dreams sceneries

Interestingly, although I deleted last time everything FSdreams
JFK and phnl were already installed and worked fine -
So many strange things happen
Video driver I never erased and Installed again

That's not how you uninstall FS9 properly. You should never leave other FS9 addons installed if you want to uninstall FS9 correctly.

The correct way is:

- Uninstall ALL the Addons using their Uninstallers

- Uninstall FS9

- Go into the FS9 folder and REMOVE it, because something might be still there

- Remove %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FS9

- Reinstall FS9

- Update to 9.1

- Then you can reinstall the addons.

You said you left 2 addons installed. That's not how it's done. I've said to uninstall ALL addons, using their Uninstallers, BEFORE uninstalling FS9

No, just follow *exactly* what I've said, which is:

Install Windows, install your video drivers and any additional driver that Windows might automatically suggest to install, install FS9, then the 9.1 update, then any of our sceneries. Don't do anything more, don't touch any file, don't change any settings. It should work straight away.

Sorry, but that's just not possible. You are the ONE AND ONLY ONE reporting this. If it was a problem of the sceneries, EVERYONE would have it. We are using Win7 x64 ourselves, to test FS9 and of course:

- ALL installers automatically add the sceneries to the Scenery Library

- ALL installers do the same thing, there's NO DIFFERENCE between them. Provided, of course, you are using all the current version that are on the site. Which means, it's just not possible that one would automatically install, and the other not.

- Everyone using them isn't having this issue.

A clear proof it's nothing related to our installer is:

YESTERDAY, you said KDFW didn't worked and didn't installed automatically in the Library. TODAY, you are saying "our scenery dwf first - Went fine"

The KDFW installer is obviously the same than yesterday so, fact it it now works, clearly indicates the installer was always fine to begin with, and it obviously works because you reinstalled everything.

The only possible explanation is that you did something between KDFW and JFK installation, which has resulted in a problem somewhere.

I'm out of office now, so I can't do much until tomorrow. Do you know the program Team Viewer ?

http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

With this, I can see your system remotely, and have a look what's wrong with it. Download and install the Free version, I'll contact you with PM or Email late this evening or tomorrow to start a session.
