FS9.1

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

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.

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,

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.

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

If you have FS2004, you will notice that it is housed on your computer, in a
file labelled FS9. :-)
