Plugin installer 4.0 didn't found X-Plane 12 installation file from non administrator context

#1 Post by SimPassion »

 
Even with existing "C:\Users\simu\AppData\Local\x-plane_install_12.txt" file, the Plugin installer 4.0 didn't found X-Plane 12

It looks like the installer is only searching in administrator context ("admin" windows session for me), whereas the X-Plane 12 installation was performed in the user session, which is currently "simu" for me, without any administrator rights

@Corjan, could be added, an additional check to properly achieve the install, in the case of users in a similar situation ?

For any special situations you can select the manual installation.

Right, it's on the Plugin UI, though it's better user friendly to fix once for all, than ask to several users performing additional actions they shouldn't have to do, knowing there's always some who are not easy with IT concern and using flight simulator only for fun ?!?
