Danair 2 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Colleagues, Christmas presents with problems ! I've downloaded all three parts of the Balearic Islands for FSX and the serial number is accepted - when I try to install the first part the installer keeps asking for the disc to be inserted ? ? This is a DOWNLOAD PURCHASE there is no disc. Would really appreciate advice on how to correct this issue. Many thanks Bruce Bailey FSX Gold, W7x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thralni 24 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What you have to do is select the folder in which the requested data cabinet sits in. These data cabinet files are what would be the "discs". So, you should have three parts downloaded. Part 1 has data.cab 1 and 4, part 2 has data.cab 2, and part 3 has number 3. Whenever the installer asks for "the disc with datax.cab" (x being 1, 2, 3 or 4), you select the folder in which this .cab file sits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted December 25, 2011 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 25, 2011 You have to unzip ALL 3 zip files into 1 directory! Example: 1. Create a directory e.g. c:\install 2. Unzip ALL 3 zip files into this directory 3. After unzipping ALL 3 zipfiles run the setup Otherwise you get the question for a disc! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
