Fooling Install programs

[Col_GCO]

ive had this problem and if you just rename the file (to fs9_delete.exe) then try and delete it. if not try a reboot w/ the new file name and it should delete fine.

Hello, I have been gone for some time, but I am really glad to be back with Golden Wings. I have a problem. I cannot get it to install. Error message: Dem4km.BGl file is missing, download FSGW3 again. I have tried this three times. Get same message.
Any good ideas for me.

I tried to do this and now have a small problem. When I renamed my text file it made it into an actual .exe file.
Now I have an FS9.exe file on my desktop that I can't get rid of. When I try and delete it I get an error message that says it is being used by another program and can not be deleted. What can I do to get rid of this new FS9.exe file? Please help, I'm confused.

Try a program called unlocker here ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

Hi Tom, Can you give me a hint how to have two FS programs running. Like one for GA I have seen something about it but can't remember where. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Thanks,
Ted

At ease everybody.

Yeah, yeah, my profile says I've been around for a bunch of years. The truth is that I registered to steal files a long time ago before I knew what GW3 was.

About two years ago I stumbled upon the site again, looked, read, became a very small part of this, what I often describe as the most significant event in the History of Flight Simulator - and I've been in personal computing since the early 80s and flight simming almost as long! [Does anyone besides me remember the original 5 1/4" discs that transferred machine language to the 10 MB hard disc - engine noise was clicks and scenery was skimpy line drawings with yellow for cities and green for other things - and you had to reboot and enter code for any environment changes??? (ok,ok, I'll stop - I just got lost for a moment on an "Old Person Jag)]

This fooler thing was news to me!!! Yep, already created a text file and began solving "FS9 only" installation problems!!

Maybe it went around before I was really active and maybe I just missed it, but it has made a big difference already after about 3 minutes!!!

Many thanx to the GW3 community and TOM - Again!!!!

L&Ks,

Stew

What environment changes? The only changes I remember is changing scenery disks in the floppy disk drive when I went to a different part of the country.

I'll be darned!!!!

I can't remember if it was a green and a blue 5 1/4" set of discs (but I think it was) or a blue and green 3 1/2", but that sure is one of the images I remember!!!

Now, that looks a lot like FS5a.....

Thanx for the memory (I think...)
