Invalid float point operation when trying to install

[jgallacher1987]

I get to when GSX is installing the Vehicles Update Installer, and then I get ann error called Invalid Float Point Operation.  I am running FSX Plus Acceleration on Windows 7 64 Bit.  I am installing it as an Administrator.  How do I fix this problem?
Thanks.

All it states is Invalid Floating Point Operation.

At which point in the installation, exactly ? Try to log the installation, this way:

- Open a command prompt  ( start -> CMD -> enter )

- go to the folder where you have the installer, for example:

CD c:\Users\Yourname\Desktop

Assuming you put the installer on the Desktop

- launch the installer with this command:

gsx_fsx_setup.exe /log=install.log

Proceed with the installation and let it end normally. This should hopefully create a file named install.log on your Desktop. If you have it, then send it to me ( via Email, please )

What e-mail address should I use?  I have the Install.log file ready to go.
Thanks

What is the solution to this issue?  I have not received a response as of yet to my last e-mail to Support about this issue stating that I do have Dropbox.  I wish I could use this product but cannot until this issue has a resolution.

You have received SEVERAL replies. I'm sorry, but I tried to search for your error online because, obviously, nobody ever reported it before, and the only thing I could find is that an installer *might* fail because of some conflict with a Shell extension, which is what I've explained in my 4 replies to you.

As you can see by a search in this forum with "invalid floating point operation", the one and only message is yours so, it's surely a problem with a conflict with something you have installed, otherwise we would have seen at least some other reports by now.

In any case, you said you get it when GSX is installing the Vehicles updates. If you download the current Full installer, it shouldn't install the Vehicle updates, because they are contained in the current Full installer, if the problem was that step, maybe bypassing it might solve your issue.
