Running the setup for the first time - Right clicked to Run as Adminstrator and I get the Message "psetup.exe has stopped working" Windows will close and notify you if a solution is available.

I am running Windows 7 - PRO 64 bit.

Might help if you included WHICH flight simulator you are using. FSX or FSX Steam edition.

If running FSX, confirm that FSX SP2 has been installed.

If running FSX SE, here's a recent thread regarding installing FSX SE

The installer sometimes crashes on some machines on the very last step of the setup. Check to see if it actually installed.

But then I get this error running FSX for the first time and FSX just waits with circular icon spinning until eventually it says "unresponding"

This the error I get when I try to uninstall the program using 'START - Programs - PilotEdge - Uninstall.exe

Also the program does not show up under Control Panel - Programs

I'm not sure why it's having so much trouble running petrans10.dll, but that is not a critical function for running PilotEdge. Feel free to remove the reference to it from your DLL.XML, or if you prefer, rename the petrans10.dll file in your PilotEdge folder to a .bak extension.

Regarding the uninstaller, this is something I also need to resolve, you need to manually run it as Administrator so it can access the required items in the registry for cleanup.

Hi Keith
Reporting back -
I had to rename both the .dll files to .dll.bkp.

These files were
peaicontrol10.dll.bkp and petrans10.dll.bkp

Ran pilotedge as Adminstator - so far everything is working great.

Thanks for all your help !!
