Take my advice & don't use these installer utilities. They're not necessary & the ones I've tried are by no means foolproof. Doing it manually is not difficult & makes it much easier to troubleshoot problems.

Hagar is right.  But if you are determined to use this prog you can just download the dll and put it in the program folder and it should run.

Downloaded the .dll file.

The program is worthless.  :P
It will only install aircraft. Not scenery/effects/textures unless it is unlocked by getting the registration code $$

I have Airplane installer v3.3 and it has installed 30+aircraft so far with NO messups.   ;D
I use to install it the old way. But this is much easier, if you want to install just the airplane. I still install scenery/effect textures etc. the old way...

           I agree with the others do not use installer programs as they do not always work. I would recomend that you make a folder to download aircraft and scenery files into than use winzip or whatever unzip utility progam you want to unzip the files. make sure to use folder otions for whatever unzip program you use. This make the files easy to find and then you just click and drag them to where they need to be.

What i do is install every thing to desk top and then copy the files to there right folder.and after that run uninstaller that cleans my desk top up.and i dont have to worry about some important files getting over writen by the installer.its worked out good for me.

Installing by hand isn't too difficult and that way you know what went where in case the airplane crashes ACOF. What i do is unzip into a folder on my C: Drive "Temp Unzip", make sure you have "Use Folder Names" checked in your unzipping utility. Next just copy the files from the folders created in Temp Unzip to the corresponding folders in ACOF. That way you know where everything went and can delete it if something goes wrong.

PS: I sure wouldn't pay for a program to do what I can do by hand almost as easy.

I also install my planes manual. It is not that difficult. I just download it, check if the "Sound" and "Panel" folders are correct and drop it in my aircraft folder.
