Hello guys.
I'm trying to install my Wilco products (internet download) onto my new rig (which runs W764), but it keeps saying that the folder isn't the correct one.
I know they've had problems with 64 bit OS, but people have gotten it working on Vista 64, and also I've heard a lot about how those problems don't happen with W7 64.
Anybody know what to do?

Nevermind, problem solved!
If anybody else has the problem, here's what you need to do:
Instead of selecting "programme files" and then Microsoft games, FS9/X, etc, select "programme files x84".

Um, well I got it installed, but I'm getting an "error please contact vendor" message on the gauges.
Anybody know the answer to this one?
EDIT: The problem, according to Wilco, is that FSX is not being run as an admininstrator. However, following their instructions for Vista, there is no "security" tab when I right click on it in W7.
How can I give FSX admin ablities in W7?

Alexander, right click on the FSX.exe file and pick the "Compatibility" tab..."run as an Administrator" is a checkbox at the bottom of the window. Yeah, it's kindofa weird location for it.

Well, Wilco's A320 is working fantastic, the only problem is Cold and Dark.
The button "cold and dark" works fine if I hit it, then start FS as a non-admin, but not when I run it as an admin.
I could just start a flight, cold-and-dark it, then re-start it, but that takes all the fun out of starting it up in the first place.

Alexander, do the administrator thing on the Wilco Airbus setup program too.
