It appears that there are several things that can trip up an installation, and the uninstall program that comes with flightgear does not deal with these. The safest procedure seems to be to remove all references to FlightGear. Well, maybe not *all* - I found a lot of entries in the registry, and decided not to try anything there. :-) Don __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Because everything was working with v0.9.9, I thought that it should run by just installing v0.9.10. I did solve it by deleting the flightgear entry in Documents and Settings,all flightgear folders and re-installing. So, the problem appears to have been the Documents and Settings entry.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but no change here. I did solve it by deleting the flightgear entry in Documents and Settings,all flightgear folders and re-installing. So, the problem appears to have been the Documents and Settings entry.

[Flightgear-devel] v0.9.10 fails with error message
Hi All, I uninstalled a working version 0.9.9, then used the FlightGear uninstall before installing v0.9.10 Failed with a list of errors. Again uninstalled, and found that the FlightGear folders and files were still there, so deleted all, and again installed v0.9.10 Now fails with only the following errors: Error reading properties: Failed to open file at C:/Documents and Settings/Don.ANTEC/Application Data/flightgear.org/autosave.xml (reported by SimGear XML Parser) unexpected tag 'fdm_config' found in YASim aircraft description. Using the default model Cessna 172P Skyhawk (1981 model), and the default airport KSFO OS Win Xp Pro sp2 CPU AMD Athlon XP 1 GB RAM Display ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Thanks for any clues.
