In fact that's what I thought. So I right clicked and exectuded as ADMIN
That wouldn't make any difference if you did or not. The installer is flagged with the shield icon, which means it will ASK Admin permission to run anyway, so it won't even start if you don't grant them so, even in this case, there was need to do anything special, it would work just the same regardless of your initial action ( right-click and Run as Admin, or just double-click )
Followed evertyhing... and when I started FSX, my Antivirus detected a trojan. Went to the fórum and read that the suggested procedure was to download and install with the antivirus off, and then exclude two files. So, in my experience, and based on the posts I found, just "double-click on the installer and wait until is done" is not enough.
But dealing with a defective antivirus that found a false positive, it's not part of the standard install procedure, because only SOME antivirus products have this issue, most of them don't require any action. This is something for the support forum.
No, sir. I didn't see that post. The reason is simple. FSDreamteam has several products and I only needed support for GSX... so I go directly to the 'GSX Support FSX/P3D. Support for Ground Services X' Well... that's what I need after all.
Since the procedure is one and the same for all our products, it's only sensible to have ONE sticky thread in the only place where every general issue, valid for each product, is discussed.
We could put it in the FAQ page, but not many seems to read that either, since I have to reply to about a DOZEN emails EACH DAY, from people asking how to retrieve their lost purchase receipt after a crash, which is explained right in front of the FAQ page. You would guess the FAQ page should be the first thing to be checked, but apparently isn't.
And there there is no sticky on how to install and avoid false antivirus alerts.
Again. People do not read sticky posts, and it doesn't make ANY sense to have repeat them in each and every section. When someone make a post about antivirus problems, it usually starts with "I tried all the forum solutions", but it usually end up that, when I REPEAT the antivirus procedure, the problem goes away.
So, I learned the hard way that, instead of taking the EASY WAY, of making a sticky that nobody reads anyway, the only thing that works, is replying to EACH and EVERY support request, one by one, which obviously take WAY more effort and time than just copy&paste the sticky thread on each and every section of the forum.
