  1. Hello Urs, OK. No problem. I did notice that the files are getting placed a little badly. I did find on this forum a link to a different installer that did move some of the files to a user specified area. Sadly not all of them though. This is not unworkable for me and I have got EFB running OK in a simple network config (without admin credentials). I do have to pause Dropbox while I start things up but once EFB is running on both computers, it seems I can restart Dropbox replication. I haven't had an awful lot of time to test fully though and am now flying out on business for a couple of weeks. Looks like a great product though. So keep up the good work! Kind regards Tom
  2. Hi Urs, Sorry for late reply. The kids are trying to convince me I don't have time to enjoy my flightsim! So this issue above with file access appears to be a Dropbox conflict. If I disable updating my Dropbox, I don't get the error. It makes sense to me. So how do I go about moving these application log files into my %appdata%? Many thanks Tom
  3. Gents, So I managed to complete the first run of the Data Provider (I think). But now when I try to start it I get the error as attached, sometimes. Other times it just crashes out with the helpful Windows message saying that the 'Electronic Flight Bag - DataProvider has stopped working. A problem casued the program to stop working.... etc.' and the single option to 'Close Program'. I am still logged on using an account that is a member of local admins. I am not loading admins tokens by 'running as' an administator. Please advise. Tom
  4. Gents, Brilliant. Thank you very much. My problems here are caused by the security setup of my PC. As a Systems Engineer I don't run my Windows sessions with a user account that is a member of the local administrators group. So installing programs as a different user (who is a local administrator) dumps everything into that user profile. So, once the install is complete, are admin rights required in order to run the program? Cheers Tom
  5. Hello All, Having recently returned to fs after too many years absent, I have noticed EFB and want to get it working on my setup. In order to test it, I just want to set it up on a single computer, so I'm not doing anything fancy. Sadly, it's not as starightforward as I expected My first real question; is it necessary to have a subscription to Navigraph or AeroSoft nav data? I'm sure I read that EFB comes with an old cycle that can be used, but I can't find the folder structure referred within the install manual -Top Level ---SIDSTARS ---NavData Second question is regarding the data path to Active Sky weather. I'm using Active Sky for P3dv4. What exactly am I looking for? I am running P3d Version 4 on Windows 10 pro. Looks like a great product. Can't wait to give it a go! Cheers Tom
