How do I get around an error when loading the game from the DVD's?

Question

I bought X-plane 11 global edition from Amazon and when trying to install the game from the DVD's, I'm not able to go beyond disk 4. Disks 5-7 appear to have something on them from the packaging and I get an error at disk 5 that asks me to either cancel installation or try to continue and repair later. I tried to continue and repair later but was unable to do so. Any suggestions for a fix? Can you allow me to download the game online and I'll return the DVD's? Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Not part of laminar research. But what I would do is just return the disks and purchase and download online. When I tried the disks it never worked, but when I downloaded from online it worked fine, no problems. Right now I’m loading it onto my new ssd, hoping to get it to run faster. Good luck.

Thanks. Did you purchase the download from the x-plane website or Amazon?

You could try to copy the DVD to harddisk; if that fails, I'd return the media as defective, but make sure you didn't scratch the disk yourself.
