X-Plane V9 Installer

[clayrb]

Merry Christmas to all of you X-Plane junkies :laugh:

I need help installing V9 :cosedeyes: When I click on the installer I get the following message

DVD scan: The installer cannot extract a file

Error: We were unable to open a zip file. It may be mission or damaged

Compressed File:/G:\Not yet scanned/directory.txt.zip

(Main.ccp line 182)[/color]

Help what can I do

Also I have tried to copy and move the scenery from the DVD's to the Custom Directory (is that correct?)

Any help would be appreciated as this is my X-Mas present

Christmas is going and the New Year is coming

Thanks,

[Cormac]

Most probable cause:

The installer gets confused if there is more than one real/virtual DVD drive on your PC. Make sure the X-Plane DVD is in the last (highest letter on Windows) drive.

Thanks for the reply but I think that I need a little more information.......This is what I have on my computer

C: Local Disk

D: Hard Drive 2

E: Hard Drive 3

F: DVD Drive

G: CD-RW

When I try to run the DVD it defaults to the C drive put I get the error message? Do I need to disconnect a drive to install it?

Oh I'm running Vista 32 if that helps

Thanks,

Like Cormac said, the installer wants the disk in the HIGHEST LETTER DRIVE (just like your error mesage said) - change your drive letters, or disconnect the CD-RW.

How would one change his drive letters? I'm having exaclty the same problem.

Edit: Never Mind. I just temporarily disabled the drives below the DVD. (not sure if thats what you meant by disconnect the drives.)

:biggrin:

disconnecting the CD-ROM worked :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Thank You Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much

if u have any virtualdrivers (daemon tools etc) just unload them

[gorillajr]

FYI...on my install, I couldn't just unmount the drives or exit Daemon Tools...I had to COMPLETELY UNININSTALL Daemon Tools to get past the error. No biggie...just thought it might help out others.

[Cormac]

Completely uninstalling Daemon Tools is not necessary. At worst, you just need to just unmount the virtual drives using the command to do this in the tray icon menu.

Hello all

The installer connot extract a file. "error: Unspecified error"

Compressed file: D:\x-plane 9/all/global Scenery/-global terrain-/Earth

nav data/+30-110/+38-106.dsf.7z

Destination: C:\program files/x-plane 9/global Scenery/-global terrain-/Earth

nav data/+30-110/+38-106.dsf

I'v read the forum and did the unplug all divers after the D drive.

I'v try to install in a new dir.

You may have a few bad zips on your DVD - try contacting Randy Witt, Laminar's Customer Service Manager at [email protected] for advice on this (be sure to repeat the info you gave above); I think I saw someone else reporting the same problem with, probably, exactly the same DSF file here on the org a couple-three days ago.
