Cannot install Flightsim Plugins on Windows 10

[CatFlight]

Hi,

I have a fresh installed Windows 10 Home PC (German) with just Steam / X-Plane 12 on it.
The old Plug-In installer named "flight_sim_setup.exe" starts but there is no X-Plane 12 option.
So I downloaded the "Flightsim plugins 4.0 Home Use" installer from the wiki.
But whenever I try to start it i get an error telling me (translated from german) "This App cannot be executed on this PC. Contact the manufacturer for the right version."
I also get that message on a different PC with Windows 10 installed, on both PCs Windows is the current version 22H2.

Since Air Manager is an important part of my setup I am stuck with the XP-11 PC removed from the pit and the X-Plane 12 one being ready, but the Air Manager PlugIn not working and therefore the Air Manager Panel PC not able to connect.



Please help!

Kind regards, Peter

What is the size of the downloaded installer?

The size is: 17.2 MB (18,040,819 Bytes).

That's not correct. It's around 56 MB.
I saw this before. It has been 'malformed' by some kind of security system on your PC. You might have to download it on a different PC or maybe a different browser.

Hello Ralph,

Thank you for the info.
I'll download it on a different PC then.

Kind regards, Peter

Hello Ralph,

eventually it downloaded correctly.
Thank you for the file info!

Never had that problem on my machines, but I had to redownload a lot of times on different PCs on my network.
None of them have any special security software or anything, and I didn't have such download issues since modem times.
What i noticed is that the link does not supply the size to the browser, it might make sense to change the download links or offer alternative download locations.

Kind regards, Peter
