[ANSWERED] Doesnt run - "unable to load some files"

Dumdidum · Post by **Dumdidum** » Thu Sep 06, 2012 5:31 am

Hello

Just purchased and installed "Prepar3D" v1.4. Now I'm trying to run it, but it states:

"Prepar3D" was unable to load some program files and will now Exit. Please reinstall Prepar3D to restore or repair the program Installation".

Which I did, but I am still getting the same error message?

What could be the reason?

I am having the same issue.

Have either of you been able to get the program to work?

When you install make sure you are logged in to the windows account that has full admin rights.

Also installing to the default location might not always be the best thing to do, if you don't have a second hard drive then install to the main C drive and not program files

With the limited information given, the best recommendation we can make is to ensure you've downloaded all three files, and checked their MD5 sums to ensure they did properly download. The install guide has instructions on how to do this, and to make sure you're unzipping them all into the same folder to install, etc.

Checked all the MD5 sums and followed all the download instructions without any luck. I have now downloaded and tried to install the program 4 times and I get the same error every time I try to launch the program for the first time after an install.

I am running Windows 7. I am also installing Prepar3d to a separate HDD where my user is the owner and I have full control of all the folders.

Any more suggestions?

Finally got it to work! I followed checklist 1 on the P3D community support site and know the program works.

Since my error was referring to missing files and my laptop is a brand new Toshibo Qosmio, I assume that I was missing one or both of the following: MSXML 6 or Direct X 9.0. Based on my program list before installing these I believe it was the first file, MSXML 6 that was missing. I can't be entirely sure as I downloaded them both before re-installing P3D.

I hope this can help out others who have the same issue. The sim runs great!

Ok I am in the same boat after following the steps to a T. I am lost as the program fails to load. What is the proper MSXML6 for a AMD A6 Quad Windows 8.1 Gateway?? Yes I had my UAC down and tried install as admin also.

You may need to get the latest dierectx9 from Microsoft as win 8.1 doesn't come with it, and or other prerequisites?

MS DirectX http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... aspx?id=35

MS Dot Net 4.5 http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... x?id=30653

MS visual c++ http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... px?id=5555

MS XLM core services http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... px?id=3988

Well it was the DirectX lol. I had the others thru a update. Late night coffee and downloading the P3D to make sure I got the file and proper lol.

1 more ? please can the CPU AMD A6 Quad with the GT610 2G run V2.1 by chance in the Med to High range no volume fog? I am looking at buying a monthly for 6 months?

I can't say for sure, but I would guess not really. Notebooks have a distinct disadvantage against desktops.

Kosta's site has good hardware guide. http://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx- ... are-guide/

You can also make comparisons at benchmarking sites to get the best value for your money.
