• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Im using Install Creator for making exe files to my scenery files.
I want my exe file to find my FS 9 installation, but how do I do that.
I knor how to do it in FS X.
I really hope somebody can tell me.

Hi,

It should be almost the same as for fsx, but you need to query a different registry key to find the location where fs2004 installed. Is that your problem, which registry key to use?
 
I create a assembly area, a folder. In that, I create a folder of the name of the scenery (or airplane). In that, I have a folder system that replicates how FS is located, like a cloned set of FS folders, exactly named. If I do P3D 'and' FSX, then I have a separate one for P3D as well, which has slightly different names for folders, like capital letters or small letters, etc.

Next, I put all my files into the fake FS folder system(s).

Next, I clone an existing saved InstallCreatorPro file and begin renaming everything and pointing to the spots where the folders are that the installer will use.

Done. Save and build a prototype EXE.


NOTE: There is a 'how to' tutorial for InstallCreator on the top of this forum room. ;)
 
To find the FS2004 install folder I'm checking:

Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\flight simulator\9.0

And then the key:

EXE Path
