DCS: BlackShark Installation Problems - Cannot click next to continue.

[Jhorne]

I am unable to complete installation of DCS: BlackShark. After License agreement acceptance I am asked to choose installation location - choose folder in which to install BlackShark I selected the default - C:/programfiles/eagle Dynamics/Ka-50/ Click next is impossible because the box is not highlighted.

I cannot continue installation of DCS: BlackShark. Please Help.

Have you tried a different folder? You will avoid some UAC issues through installing into (for example) C:\Games. Program Files is a protected folder and you may have to run the installer as Administrator (right-click and select "Run as Administrator") to install there.

 

But personally I would recommend installing into a location like C:\Games\Ka-50\

Unless this is a misprint you do not have enough free hard disk space to install...

Ehm, are you really sure you have enough space left?

Oh doh! I should have read that closer before talking about admin mode. :P

 

Yes, if that's not a typo your hard drive is simply catastrophically full. Ideally you should ensure to have at least some 10% free on your hard drive to ensure ample space for swap and such.

If the MB is a typo: the UAC/folder would be the problem, if MB isn't a typo: then it would be that :P obviously :P
