Hi all, I am having a little problem installing the ORBX North Island and South island. I downloaded it and that all goes well and when it gets to the point of the installer it comes up with a warning saying " setup can not create the following folder"
C:/program files (x86) Microsoft games\Microsoft flight simulator X\ORBX\user documents[/b]. Then If I click retry it just shuts down the installer.
If anyone can help me out with this one it would be a great help.
If you need anymore Information please ask.
Cheers
Steve

Don't install FSX in the default location. Choose a new location from the root directory - eg C:\FSX
Later versions of windows have reduced rights in the program folder directories - especially, it appears, if you've done an upgrade to something like windows

I'm at work so cant verify this but is ORBX looking for your main FSX folder? Did you install FSX other than to the default location? If so you may need to point to that folder?
I cant remember having this issue (and I have FSX installed to its own drive) so maybe I am wrong about this?
But as not many have responded take it for what its worth...
Hope you manage to resolve this soon..

Try the ORBX registry fixer from their support page
