Just downloaded the demo and when try to run the executable get the above error. Log file is attached. Is this an installation error? Do I need to move the executable somewhere?

 

Thanks,
Craig

Yes, that error sounds like the program is not in the X-Plane 10 Demo folder. All resources to run X-Plane need to be left in that folder.

Everything is in the demo folder as the installer left it. Here is a listing of the folder:

 Volume in drive C has no label.

Something else going wrong? BTW, I'm running the 32bit executable on a 32 bit windows 7 machine....

We do recommend that X-Plane be installed on the desktop, not in Documents like you have it. This post on X-Plane.org (not affiliated with X-Plane.com or this site) has a pretty good explanation of why.
