    Hi,
    I'm not impressed that the installer won't let me choose where to install this product to. What is the reason for this?

    The aircraft is very nice by the way :)

    Yes, I agree. Windows won't let me move the folder to another location so please can we have a way of selecting the install location?

    @libraryguy That's very easy to do. Once you have installed, move the installation folder to wherever you want it and use MSFS Addons Linker to link to the installation folder.

    @sender46 Thanks for trying to help but as I said, Windows won't allow me to do this. I get a message saying something along the lines of 'Your Organisation doesn't allow this'. The potential solutions to this problem are many and complex and I have tried some of them, but I'm sick of fiddling about in Windows instead of flying! It would be so much easier if Justflight (and Aerosoft) allowed us to specify the installation folder.

    @libraryguy Have you tried doing it as an Administrator?

    @sender46 I've tried taking ownership of the folder, but that doesn't work. Tbh, although I'm familiar with running apps as Adminstrator, I wasn't aware you could do the same with copying files/folders as I don't see that option. How does one do this?

    @libraryguy I can log on as an administrator. You may not be able to.

    One easy solution is to zip the directory to another place and unpack where you like and deleting the original directory in the community folder. Afterwards you use the AddonLinker to create a link into the community folder. Unfortunately this have to be redone each time we get an update. Therefore I agree, having the installer to let us the choice would be great.
