Taylor Williams Posted September 8, 2020 at 10:38 PM Posted September 8, 2020 at 10:38 PM (edited) Hey Guys! So randomly my vPilot just quit working, so after trying to run it over and over I just went for the re-install now during that process this error pops up: I have tried re-installing, emptying config file, running as admin, yet still nothing has got through Any solution?

Ross Carlson Posted September 9, 2020 at 12:49 AM Posted September 9, 2020 at 12:49 AM Best guess is that vPilot is still running in the background. Have a look in Task Manager and kill the process if it's still there.

However, It says that the actual .exe file is missing Edited September 9, 2020 at 01:21 AM by Taylor Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted September 9, 2020 at 09:10 PM Posted September 9, 2020 at 09:10 PM (edited) Makes sense that if you tell it to ignore an error writing vPilot.exe, it then won't be able to find the exe later when you run the shortcut. I'm afraid I don't know why your system won't let you write the exe. Does this problem occur after a reboot? In other words, reboot your system, and then immediately try running the vPilot installer.

Yea I Re-booted and went directly into installation yet still same problem, perhaps safe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted September 10, 2020 at 12:13 AM Posted September 10, 2020 at 12:13 AM Try 2.5.2: https://vpilot.metacraft.com/Assets/Files/Installers/vPilot-Setup-2.5.2.exe That version does not support MSFS, this is just a test to see if the contents of the installer have anything to do with the issue you're running into.

Alright I seem to have fixed the issue, my Antivirus was actually deleting the .exe as it installed seeing it as a threat. However, I am now faced with another issue as I am not receiving any RX from ATC or Pilots One problem after the other it seems 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
