Firstly. Make sure you install Weapon for FSX as an administrator. To do this, right click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" from the list that pops up.

The next thing you need to do is this. Right click on the "Loader" ( found in Start > All Programs > Captain Sim > Weapon for FSX > Loader) and select properties. Select the Compatibility tab and in the Privilege Level section, place a tick in the box beside "Run this program as an administrator". This will mean that the "Loader" will always be run with administrative authority and be allowed to make the changes it needs to to the aircraft you add it to.

Doing all that should fix the problems. But...you might still have problems. If you do, you might need to run FSX as an administrator as well. This is likely to be the case if FSX is installed in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). To do this, go to the FSX root folder and look for the fsx.exe file (it will look something like this: ), right click on it and select properties, select the Compatibility tab and in the Privilege Level section, place a tick in the box beside "Run this program as an administrator".

Hope this helps.

Are you using FSX with SP2 or Acceleration, as per the minimum specifications?

Minimum System Requirements:

    - PC with 2.0 GHz equivalent or higher processor
    - 1GB of system RAM
    - 256 MB DirectX 9 compatible video card
    - 500 Mb of free space on the MS FS hard drive
    - Microsoft® Windows® XP/Vista/7
    - Microsoft® Flight Simulator X SP2 or Flight Simulator X Acceleration.
    - Internet access (for installation/ re-installation)

It is possible that your installer is corrupt or incomplete (it does happen occasionally), so I suggest that you re-download the installer. To do this:
Check-in to Your Profile > Select product > Extended Download Service > Get New Links
Reinstall the Weapon for FSX from the newly downloaded file and see if this fixes it.

Did you do those things I suggested in my first reply?

I have never heard of anyone having a problem exactly like yours. What operating system are you using? If you provide a bit more info, I might be able to help you better.

Can you take some screen shots of what is happening to the Loader when you open it, put them in a zip, rar or 7zip file and email them to me please? To email me, click on the email link at the bottom of this reply.

Perhaps if I can see what is going on, I can understand what is happening.
