The so ware requires internet ac va on which is facilitated through an Addon manager program de‐
veloped by a trusted 3rd party developer: Virtuali. Ac va on can be via any internet connected PC,
although we strongly recommend this internet connected PC to be the same as the one that you are
installing the product. This is simply because it is easier.
Before beginning installa on, we recommend temporarily disabling your An ‐Virus program, as they
can some mes prevent the installer from downloading necessary files for installa on, such as the Ad‐
don manager.
Step 1
To begin installa on, first open the installer. We strongly recommend Right Clicking the installer and
selec ng “Run as Administrator”.

la on. Available languages are:

ning and also which flight simulator pla orms you have on your PC.
If you are using the FS9 installer, skip to Step 3

If you are using the FSX/P3D installer and DO NOT have any version of P3D installed, skip to Step 3
Step 2
If the installer detects the Prepar3D product on your PC, a dialogue box will appear. P3D Version 2 is
the highest priority and will show first if both P3D V1 and 2 are installed on your PC.
If you have Version 2 installed, and would like to install there, click YES. The next screen you will see
can be found in Step 3. If you choose to install into V2 and would like to install into V1 and/or FSX, you
will need to run the installer again for each version.
If you have Version 2 installed and DO NOT want to install there, click NO. If Version 1 is installed on
your PC, then the dialogue box will give you the op on of installing into Version 1.

and pas ng the serial number to make things easier. We understand this is not possible for our Boxed

This is the most common reason for receiving the following error message:
