MS. error Combat Flight Simulator: invalid, too short, too long or protected player in writing.

Try to install the version of MS Combat flight simulator 1998 on a Windows 7 system.

Setup program opens and runs through until you choose an installation path.  It gives the default value:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator

It is said that it is a drive not valid, too short, too long or write protected.  Then, he gives an example of what it should be.  And it is exactly the same as above.  What I am doing wrong?

Hello

I suggest you to change the installation location of the game and check if that helps.

Then I dutifully saved the campaign according to the instructions of the obvious. After leaving the game, I tried to continue with the new character. But NO! Quietly, the bloody game had refused to register this new character. He only would allow me to use characters that I had already beaten before Nazis! At gibts? Deutsch for "what happened?" I have already unloaded the game and reloaded it's new. Thanks for ANY help.

  • Combat Flight Simulator 3 will not drive install

    The drive, which I bought, Combat Flight Simulator 3, cannot be read by my computer, 3 XP, Windows 8.  I tried different ways to install this drive, but all without success.  Microsoft Diagnostics can not read or the other.  As far as I can check my computer has all the requirements for this game, but I didn't even get an error message.  Various ways to install just to bring the error message, insert the disk when the disk is already in the drive.  I have a funny feeling that the disc is a complete space, that I have been ripped off by the seller.  If this is the case, then I'll send the disk to Microsoft (very) and ask them to investigate the seller.  Comments, please.

    I just combed my 1998 version of the SFC - the one with the mustang on the cover.  I can not install it at all!

    The sepia action aerial shooting appears small turns turquoise ring and that's all.  It hangs then (excuse the pun).
