OK. However, the activation process requires an internet connection to activate when installing and I'm not about to turn off anti-virus protection while connected to the internet. I did that a few years ago and had to reformat all of my hard drives. The AV was only off for about a minute . . . literally.

If you don't want to turn off the AV you'd try to put ACE.exe in place and add an exclusion in your AV.

What I don't understand is why there's no problem installing and activating ver 1.0 with hotfixes 1 and 2 without disabling anything. So why is it necessary to disable other software for ver 1.1? And the subsequent update(s)?

Because we update the 757 code daily. Also MS updates their AV daily.

For clarification, can I place the ACE.exe file in another location?

Where should the file be located by default?

I did add that file as an exclusion in my AV (Kaspersky) but it still won't launch the ACE.

You mentioned the code changes daily: does that mean some of the files in the sim (on the owner's PC) are connected to another server?

I am using the latest version 1.2. The aircraft seems to work fine and this ACE issue is the only thing causing problems as I can not add liveries or export/pack anything I've created. If this issue can not get resolved (other than going back to version 1.0) is there a work around?

Thanks.

Please contact kaspersky. We do not support third party software.

No. I'm taking local changes that released as hotfixes and new versions.

Yes. To disable the AV and install the product properly.

OK. Thanks for the answer. It seems you may have missed the part (or I missed it) but I did turn off the AV when updating to no avail.

Regarding installation, I can turn off AV but your product requires an internet connection which is a dangerous thing to do when AV is turned off.

You should turn off AV and WD while the re-install procedure and add the exclusion as long as AV/WD both are stopped.

I just installed the newest version of the 757 on FSX SE and while everything seems to work when I disable my Bitdefender antivirus, once it is enabled again (even with an exclusion on the ace.exe), when opening the ACE I get an unhandled exception error and in the sim, when selecting the aircraft I get a message saying that the model cannot be displayed.

Unfortunately we have no control over third party AV software.

Are there any other files you might recommend adding an exclusion to?

I have added the D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX, D:\Prepar3D v3, and D:\Prepar3D v4 folders to the exclusions list on my AV (Avast on my PC, and Windows Defender on my laptop). Doing that might help.

I may have solved the problem by adding and exclusion for every folder that has a Captain Sim folder which included some of the hidden files/folders.

Just a quick update. In FSX, everything seems to be working but now I have an issue with some of my liveries that were previously installed (PW model) now no longer showing up. The only livery beside the default CS liveries that show is an AA livery for the RR model. Also, ACE still has unhandled exception and object errors and changes made in the program are not saved.
