Help for flight recorder

Postby Wayne Pierce on 03-09-2010 04:15 PM

Gents this a applicant pilot who cannot get the digital flight recorder working on his system. He would like to submit an application and a checkride. I have helped him all I can. Anybody else out there?

He mentions RUN as ADMIN, did he INSTALL as admin also?

I've read these emails as well, but since I don't have Vista or Windows 7 anymore ( I returned the computer I mentioned previously, had other bills to take care of). I've never ran into this issue so I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.

We've not run into a flight recorder problem we couldn't overcome yet.

It's not clear to me if he can't install or can't run. Can you get clarification?

Does he have read/write premissions to the directory where he is trying to install the recorder (Windows-7 does strange things with permissions to try and protect your system. Can't remember if Vista did that too or not).

What exactly does he do to get the error messages described?

Does he have a valid download? We've had problems in the past where someone only had a partial download. Check the file sizes.
