This (the fact that you need to run as administrator) needs to be posted in big letters on the weapon homepage or something. It's in the knowledgebase, but I'm sure plenty of people don't check there. I was extremely frustrated with Weapon until I finally got the explosions working.  ;D

I find it interesting to note that I don't need to use "Run as an administrator" for FSX, Weapon for FSX Loader or pretty much any other program I use in Windows 7 either. On my system I only have a few programs that I have to use "Run as an administrator" on to have them work correctly. I don't know why, my UAC is set to the recommended one (second from the top). Is it the difference between Home Premium and Professional? I don't really know. My guess is that it is.
