Title: PROBLEM INSTALLING 757 300 EXTENSION
Post by ZISIS on Dec 23^rd, 2021 at 4:38pm

Hello. i have just purchased the 757 300 expansion (csx 573_1700 exe), iam trying to install and an NSIS error launching installer appears. I copy-paste the exe to another file and things work, BUT after i press "I Agree" on License Agreement i get the message that "this update requires the latest version" and adds "required version 1600" although i have the 1700. Then i follow the link to download the latest version which is the same with the one i have already downloaded. I also re installed base pack from "extended download servise" as i have done with the extension. Then again the same problem when trying to install the extension. It will guide me again to download latest version and the installer will close. All antivirus are disabled and i have succesfully installed 757 base and 777 which i also just purchased . So the AV is not a problem. I am sending a photo of the installer message.Can someone help? Thanks a lot.

Is this the 32-bit only version? You got the matching basepack, right?

It is (csx is the designation for FSX/SE/P3D3), so it should work unless he has the P3D4/5 version of the 757 Captain III (757-2PW) Base Pack 1.7 [P3D4/5] (csy572_1700.exe).
I have to assume he knows it's for FSX/SE/P3D3 because you can see it on the image of the installer error. :-/

It is the FSX SE indeed, so no problem with that.....

Hello again and thanks for the response. I have followed the direction given in the link. I have completely uninstalled my AV and i have turned off firewall and threat protection from Windows Defender plus just in case, i have added the installation exe to the exclusion list of Windows Defender.
Then i reinstalled 757 200 base from fresh extended download service and then proceeded to installation of 757 300. Again the same problem as mentioned in the very beginning.

Hello again. Iam sorry to have found no response regarding my problem on installing 757 300. According to photo attached, version 1600 is required. So is there a way to get version 1600 and try to see what happens? Thanks again.
