[Resolved] Unable to install FSL Spotlights, installer incorrectly identifies P3D version number.

[Paul Dutton]

Hello,

I have a new P3D v5 installation, 5.1.12.26829, but when I try and install Spotlights, it returns an error of "Existing Prepar3D v5 version is older than 5.0.20.34709. Please update your Prepar3D installation." Which it isn't.

Regards,

Paul

Your registry - edited by the P3D installer - has made an incorrect entry.  Rerun the P3D client installation.

Hold the fort! I downloaded the Spotlights file again, unzipped again and this time it has worked.

 

Thanks for the weekend reply.

That's not it I'm afraid, I searched the registry and the latest version of P3D is there, reran the client as you suggested just in case and same result.

Paul,

Take a look in your Temp folder for your setup log, scroll down and look at the part checking for your P3D versions.

I edited my previous message to say that I had downloaded the Spotlight file again and unzipped and it worked this time. Must have been a "stuck zipper".

Thanks again.
