Apologies if this issue has been raised already.

I have downloaded the B757 fleet installer but when I run the programme, a dialogue message appears saying: "No supported versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator were detected"

I am using Windows 8 and figure that may be part of the problem.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure about this issue, but I do know Win 8 has not been very forgiving towards the flightsim community and it can be tough to get working right, but I think there are fixes and you can get it to work real nice if you play around with it. Make sure you are running the installer as Admin, and make sure FSX is installed in a known directory. I am sure others will put their 2-cents in here and get this issue fixed!

In our fleet, there is something you can download called the "Installer registry fixer." Download it, install it, and try to download the fleet again. It should work.

Darren, thanks for the reminder about registry fixer. I had not been able to load the fleet 767 using windows 7 but now I have it loaded after running the fixer. I fly FS9.
