Not quite sure where to put this one, so it will probably get moved.
Anyway, I have downloaded and installed AIcarriers several times with no success.

I love carrier ops, and REALLY want to be able to use it!
PLEASE help, I'll provide whatever info about the error message, system, or whatever.

Thanks!

PLEASE help fast?

I reinstalled it for the 500th time and found the error message.
it says:

Whew!

Hopefully one of you 15,000+ members can help me with this.

Read the included 'Read Me' file, it will explain your error.

I don't see it, can you tell me where?

This message happens because you actually try to launch AICarriers manually.
You should not.
AICarriers should launch automatically when FSX starts. If AICarrier starts without FSX, you get those errors.
Launch FSX, you have a new item in the menu.

That's the problem, I did start FSX and it still gave me that error message.

Please help!!!

When you are in FSX in a flight, do you see AICarriers in the Addons menu ?

No
and i tried Shift+J

Have a look on this topic, some people had exactely the same error as you.
