W7 64Bit will not let me install... **SOLVED**
Magic:
Ciao Umberto!
After a long time I am facing problems that I can't solve myself.
I need your help!
I bought a new computer with Windows 7 64Bit and was able to transfer FS9 with all add-ons working...
Now I wanted to use the F-4 in FSX ( I know...not very smart...some say) but the FSDT Installer that I downloaded today will not let me install it on my system.
The programme asks me if I want to open the file...I click yes...than nothing happens.
No indication of an error somewhere, nothing, it just does nothing.
I am logged on as Admin in Windows 7...
I am totally lost as to what I might have done wrong.

There's no way the F4 will ever run in FSX, because the Addon Manager for FSX doesn't know about its existence so the whole airplane code won't even start so, don't waste your time trying to do it.
The installer not starting doesn't happen, it works normally in Windows 7 64 bit. None of us use anything else other than Windows 7 64 bit, we are not even sure if our products works on XP anymore, because nobody of us is testing them anymore. The installer is the same as all the other FSDT installer so, provided you don't try to force-install into FSX (which will never work) there are no issues with it.

I don't see how waiting a year would make any difference to your issue. Have you read my previous reply from last year ? According to your report:

You tried to install it into FSX. There's no way the F4 would ever install into FSX or it would ever RUN under it, even if you somehow managed to install it manually. So, the installer is CORRECT preventing to install inside FSX and there's nothing you can do.
The F-4 is an FS9-only product, and the installer will work normally under Windows 7 64 bit, provided you have FS9 installed and are installing INTO FS9 which means, not trying strange registry tricks to force an FS9-only installer into FSX, because the F-4 won't work in FSX regardless of any trick you might think of, to force its installation into FSX.
So, as long as you have FS9 correctly installed in Windows 7, the F-4 installer will work normally in Windows 7 64 bit.

Ciao!
Sorry if I haven't been clear about my actions and certainly did I read your last reply! ;)
I tried to install it to my new FS9 installation...but my W7 64bit will not open the installer. It is that simple.
I fully understand that I cannot install it in FSX... :)
The fact that I waited another year before posting here again was simply related to being busy with other things in FSX...and more importantly in life. :)
Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough...my Windows7 64bit will not let me open the installer...that is all. Untill another developer releases his FSX F-4E I wanted to reinstall my beloved Cloud9 F-4F into FS9.
Mille Grazie!
