I cannot open the graphic interface file!

Question

Download file

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

 

Answer 1

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:

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.
