I have been trying to install X-Plane 11 on my laptop from DVD but it keeps showing me that X-Plane 11 Installer.exe has stopped working. I also tried to download the installer from website, but I get the same message. What could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance!

This is an old version of the installer. The installer the website downloads should be version 4.10, not 4.02. Please try the newest version. Also make sure Windows antivirus isn't preventing it from running or something like that.

Thank you so much for your willingness to help me out.

Even with the original DVD installer, I was able to complete the process. Subsequently, I upgraded the xplane version. I just enabled Nvidia GPU instead of Intel HD going through NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Preferred GPU > Set to NVIDIA GPU > Apply.

Then apparently the installer recognized the NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 4GB and it went well.

I found it interesting to leave this here to help other users with the same problem in the future.

Ah, yes I've heard of this happening before. If a computer has 2 GPUs, sometimes X-Plane uses the wrong one for some reason. Glad you found the solution!
