RealFlight G3 won't install on Windows 7
 

Hey,

I'm trying to install my copy of RealFlight G3 on my Windows 7 laptop (specs listed below) but as soon as I click the Setup.exe file it crashes. I've tried right clicking and choosing to run the file as administrator but that does no good either, it also crashes.

I'm guessing that since others can get it to install on Windows 7 then I must be missing a crucial piece of software (maybe a version of DirectX or .Net framework version or something along those lines but I have no idea what it might be).

Asus G74 laptop
Nvidia GTX 560m 2gb video ram
Windows 7 Professional version
Intel i7 3.2GHz
16GB SRAM

Thanks if you can lend me a hand and tell me how to go about getting this installed.

Solved: Turn Windows DEP to only for Windows essential programs and services only. Then reboot and now the launcher comes up and it's installing like it should.

Hi Patrick, I have a older computer that I had converted from windows XP to windows 7 pro. I have a Real Flight G- 2 Lite simulator that worked fine on the XP, but I cant load on the windows 7 Pro. I called Real Flight and they said that XP was 32 bit and windows 7 is 64 bit. I was wandering if I buy a new R.F. game will work on my computer? Thanks Waynem

I dont know if its a legit site but you can download RF demo looks and flys like the real thing. I think its an Italian web site I did download and run it prior to purchasing RF it ran perfectly Phoenix also provides a demo. To run RF. you will need an older copy of Windows direct x if you research the fix you should be able to run RF demo. When i ran the demo it asked for the older copy of dx i asked RF on the phone about the demo they looked at the web site they werent aware of the demo but said it looked Italian. I virus checked it and it came up ok. Since then i have a full version of RF 7.5 running on my win 7 computer also have 4 gigs ram. And deleated the demos. RF stated that if i couldnt get it to run it would be ok to sell it just unregester the copy from my computer first.

Thanks, I will look at that site and see if it will run, Waynem

Did it work for your computer?

It ran after I updated the graptics card to a 3/d card. Thanks

when you delete the demo make sure you delete the files in your program files folder it could cause issues with 7.5 the demo program files wont delete on their own. they could be in program files or program files 86

Thanks, I will save this answer so I dont forget about it. I plan to buy RF7.5 ,but not sure when. WayneM
