P3D version 4.2 installed in wrong directory

Post by hv_oers »

Hello I need your support,

I run P3D v4.1 without any problems. It is installed in E:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. When I run the Setup_Prepar3D to update to P3D version 4.2 the new version is being installed in C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. I cannot choose a directory name while updating to V4.2.

I checked the registry:
Some entries in the registry are on the directory: E:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 (That's OK)

In the registry path 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Content' two entries 'Prepar3D v4 content' and 'Prepar3D v4 scenery' have the wrong directory name 'C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4'
How can I correct this issue?
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
