Hi SA380. Welcome to SimV. I would suggest extracting the files to a temp folder on your desktop perhaps, then manually moving the folders, sometimes the zip files are in lots of subfolders which MSFS doesnt recognise. You should have the main folder, then in that folder you should have the panel, texture, sound etc folders.It should work like that!

Good Luck!

with flightsim 2004 you dont need to put the gauges into ur main gauges folder you can put them in your panel in ur aircraft folder, same with sound

I agree I used to think .exe's are the way to go and that when It says to just extract to your js9 folder thats it but like jb said it doesnt always work Try herehttp://www.simviation.com/acinstall.htm when you extract it to a temp folder  double click the folder till you see the model panel etc. then go back one click then move that one to your fs9 aircraft folder.

if you click any of the files on winzip, it'll switch automatically to extract only the selected files, be sure you switch it back to ALL FILES and have the IGNORE PATHNAMES box unchecked

after you exctract, check the folder it unziped into, to see if it hasn't created a sub folder inside (happens sometimes)
