Topic: Run FS as Administrator

I don't know if this is posted somewhere but I Installed FS and when I ran the launcher it couldn't update.

I'm using Win 7 and I fixed this by running the launcher as an Administrator.
The same probably would happen for Vista.

If this is an common occurrence then I suggest that an instruction is said somewhere that tells you to run the launcher as an Administrator.

Please excuse me if this is allready done or posted as I had a brief look for it and didn't find anything.

Re: Run FS as Administrator

Installing FS for Windows 7 and Vista is covered within the help section but I'll try to get someone to look at updating the sticky thread in there with common problems and solutions.

Re: Run FS as Administrator

Thanks for a response.
As you can see, I am new to this site and have not extensively read through the forums.
It's good to see that the people running the show are concerned about the fellow players who also enjoy this mod.
