Still coming up against source file can't be found error message.

Post by Blind Pilot »

Hello, once again from Ron Kolesar.
I have a new computer with win 10 to be updated to win 11 with 32 gigs of memory.
I just down loaded and attempted to install the latest version of p3d v5.
I'm still receiving source file can[t be found.
Now, I ran the setup.exe file and it excepted my license and password.
But, I also went to the zipped folder and ran all three of the install files, the sencory and the other two files.
I keep getting to repair and or to uninstall.
I've repaired until I'm blue in the face.
So, what is going on here please?
I can be reached at:

Ron,

It appears that you were trying to do a full install of P3D.

To do that, you only need to right-click on setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator", and then let it run.

You should not, when doing a full install, use the 3 .msi installers.
