    Wish I could help you Mud, my install went perfectly on a SSD. Anyone get Error 0x80070643. You could also post this error at the Lockheed Martin website.

    How did you proceed to trigger the installation ?
    Did you right-click on the "setup.exe" file and select the "Run as administrator" option ?
    Also, did you specify a destination folder different from the default "c:\Program Files(x86\..." ?

    Mud, the last post reminded me, you must setup as Administrator or bad things can happen. Like a partial install where things are missing. You will have to do a complete uninstall from the P3D installed then reinstall as Administrator.

    Do not uninstall using Window/Control Panel/Programs. You will then have a problem with serial numbers and other issues. Always do the uninstall from the P3D installer.

    What is an MSI package?

    Strange you should say that Tom. I use the uninstall from the Control Panel and have no problems re activating after a re-install. Doing it any other way required me to write to LM to get the sim re-activated.

    I can't uninstall something that has never been completely installed as far as I can tell. MSI....ok, I know what that is now. The question is how do I fix it? Still zero response from the Lockheed forum on what is wrong. :-(

    Pat, my experience was just the opposite. I had problems with one of the original releases and uninstalled with Control Panel. When I tried to reinstall I think I remember the message saying something like I only paid for one license. When I contacted LM they had to send me a different key to get back on board. Very interesting.

    Good question indeed.
    I only "uninstalled" P3D v2, a few weeks ago back when I installed P3D v3. I used the standard Windows uninstallation from the control panel...
    I don't plan on reinstalling P3Dv2 anyways, but still I would like to know what is the official procedure, in case I need to reinstall P3D v3...
