When you run the exe file then it'll ask you for the root folder. It should look something like this;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\FS9, that is the root folder for your FS, mine is on my D drive, just click okay (change to D if that is where your FS is) and hey presto it should appear ;)

I had no trouble at all with it either.
It also gives you the choice to unzip it directly to FS9 or somewhere else to do a manual install which was nice most self-installers won't allow that. I  prefer to manually install but I like the way this installer was set up so I took a chance and let it install itself, worked like a charm!!
And this is probably the best aircraft I now own!!!! It beats most payware on the market!!! Awesome work was put into it!!! Many thanks to the developers! :)

:o Feisty is not the half of it! I wouldn't want to scare anyone off but I'd even call it skittish! And after ya gets inta da air ya has ta have a two by four to keep it flyin' straight 'n' narra.

Humor notwithstanding, RUN, do not walk and pick up this really truly beautiful airplane. I count myself fortunate to be a flying mate of the guys who built her.

I downloaded this amazing plane.
Have it as the start up plane at LAX

I have one question, how do you unlock the tailwheel ?
