More questions on install...

[cfarsr]

So I've finally got my rig, an Alienware with 3rd gen i7, the 650m and 6 gigs of ram.

 

I downloaded 1.1.1.1 so I can train with the use of voices and have a couple questions. I understand the installer is supposed to recognize if my system is 64 or 32 bit, but it appears to want to install in the 32 bit program file section. I am uneducated to the ways of computers, but doesn't program files x86 mean 64 bit? A10 wants to install straight to the normal program files section? What do I do to install the 64 bit?

 

Also, I tried to download C++ to make sure everything is squared away but it just tried to repair the existing version. Does that mean everything with C++ will work here?

 

Also x2, the directx wants to know where to extract to. I didn't download and save, I simply clicked run.

 

What do I do?

 

Thank you,

Chris

Program Files is the home for 64bit apps. x86 is for 32bit.

 

VC should be fine with repairing and Direct X sounds like it installed fine, though both should have been fine right from the A-10 installer.

 

At this point you should have a functional sim, is in not working?

Ok. Thanks for the heads up on the bit info.

 

I tried last year and had to download both directx and c++ to make it work. Ill give it a shot.

 

Thanks

Implant the linked file there and instructor voices will function in your DCS World install.
