Hi all,
I was really excited to come home from work today and see the nice brown package left for me that contained a Cessna Trim Wheel and 2 Saitek Pro Flight Instrument Panels... you can imagine my disappointment when I cannot get the Instrument Panels to work (the Trim Wheel works fine!).
System Stats:
Windows 8.1 (64 bit) running .NET Framework 4.5
RAM: 16 GB
CPU: Intel i7 (3.8 Ghz)
The error I'm getting is screenshotted here: http://imgur.com/Hs6gNQr . Everytime I run the setup from the included CD, I get that error. I've tried running it in compatibility mode for XP SP2 to no avail. I have tried installing the .NET Framework 2.0 and when I run it I get a windows error (my thoughts are that it's because it's not compatible with Windows 8 since 2.0 is from XP...). I've emailed the company to help, their first response was, "Download and run the .NET Runtime 2.0" (that was it, after explaining in the email that that wouldn't work and I had tried) so I'm trying to find a possible alternative fix.
When I get home from work, one of the things that I am going to try is seeing if I can install 3.5 and then turn the feature on/off.
I downloaded the latest drivers from Saitek's website and installed them, but that doesn't include the SST Programming Software, which is what has all the gauges...
Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
- Jace
