Trouble with updating the new addon Manager
« on: November 16, 2012, 08:01:56 pm »
I downloaded the new addon mgr so I could apply the new update, it downloads fine but when I run the update it comes up with several errors stating it cannot replace the file error 5. I am running the file as administrator. Any ideas?

This has been discussed many times, the error 5 means you ran the installer when FSX was still running, or was still in the act of closing (it might take a little longer after its icon has disappeared to release all open files), so the installer couldn't get permission to write over files still open by the closing FSX.

A Windows reboot will surely fix this.
