Maybe a stupid question but this morning I couldn't remember where I
hung my towel after my shower so I'll ask anyway. If a person has the
update, fs9.1 and the NOCD exe, can FS9 be re-installed and then just
copy the old FS9.exe to the correct directory and have everything working?

Save your FS9.exe (presently NOCD) and uninstall FS9. Reinstall FS9 and copy
your saved FS9.exe to the FS9 main folder. I believe it works.

My understanding is that you run the 9.1 uninstaller and then put the
original exe back. Check the readme with the updater the MS 9.1 webpage has
a good FAQ

Hi,

There is a separate no-CD file for the 9.1 update; putting the old one
back does negate some updates. Do a search for no cd fs2004 9.1

Hope this helps,

Hi Bob,

You need a separate no cd for 9.1. Otherwise, using the FS9 no cd, you lose
some of the update features.

If you cannot find one, e-mail me, I will send it to you (you have my real
e-mail address I believe).

One I have is filename nocd2k4patched.zip

If you uninstall FS9.1 (using the patch uninstaller) then you will need to
install the FS9 no cd file. Filename for it is nocd_cof.zip. Can send you
that one also if you wish.

And there is one more little trick, even if you have found fs91upd.exe
and try running it, you will get a message saying

"It appears that FS9.1 is already installed" or something similar.

The trick is that 9.1 makes a folder called BACKUP (in FS9) and it is
the presence of this folder that causes the message.
To bypass and get 9.1 installed ok. rename or delete the BACKUP folder,
9.1 will then run ok.
It is not documented anywhere I could find but after 45yrs in mainframe
hardware and software support I know the tricks companies can get up to,
nothing is left to chance - they have to have a way back if the update
didn't work, quite simple and obvious if you think about it.
Any way, try it and post your results here please.
Lindsay.

Hmmm, after 45 years, you should know enough to read the readme for the
update. Very clear in there. When uninstalling the 9.1, the final step is to
DELETE the Backup folder.

Thanks Lindsay, Paul and Tom for replying. I've saved your answers.
I'll try later to re-install FS9.1

Oops..You're right, silly me. Mind you I wasn't really uninstalling 9.1,
I had uninstalled and reinstalled fs9 so didn't bother to read the
uninstall of 9.1 - obviously fs9 uninstall didn't remove everything in
it's folders. Like the old rule says RTFM.

I'm new to this group and have a quick question. What is FS9? Is it
something other than FS2002 or FS2004

It's the same as FS2004. The FS9 indicates that it's the ninth version
of the simulator. The timeline for all the versions of the last 25 years can
be found here http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/timeline.htm .
