404 errors generally mean the website could not be reached. Please check your internet connection first. If the problem persists, please attach a screen shot of the installer error and the installer log.txt file.

It could have been a temporary issue as well. How much time did you allow between tries?

it still not working ..

Fact: I reinstalled X-plane from my "some years old" Version 10.00 r01 version. So far it works BUT even when I start x-plane it said it can not connect to the net. I have installed 2 networkadaptors on my PC. Could it be that X-plane is looking to the wrong one ? What can I do ?

Hi Klaus,

What exact steps are you following to update? Are you trying to download the installer from the new version alert within X-Plane? Have you tried the latest version of the installer from X-Plane.com?

The image definitely makes it seem like you are not connected to the internet. If you can confirm your internet is working, perhaps X-Plane is blocked by a firewall or something similar?

Hello,

I'm surely connected to the internet. I also deactivated the firewall (and Avira) of my Win10pro OS but still same error . Also the latest installer was used.

I started the installer and selected "update x-plane" and followed the further setps until the error occur

I was not able to reproduce this. I could update X-Plane from both my Mac & Windows10 computers.
