Remove FD using Control Panel.
Download and unzip to a temp folder and run Setup from there. Do not run setup from within the Zip.
Thank you for that Mike

Done as advised instal starts then hiccups and displays a window that informs "You cannot start application FlightDisplay from this location because it is already installed from a different location"
A search of the computer reveals no FD folders or files lurking anywhere.Any suggestions please.

Did we install FD manually some time ago?
Yes you did indeed!
Since then some 3/4 months ago I did some serious housekeeping on my computer because of ongoing problems,un-related to our hobby,part of which was a complete re-instal of BaseStation on completion of this particular task the various Add Ons ,including FD,all installed with no problems.I don`t know whether or not this history provides any clues but nonetheless thank you for your interest.

FD leaves some elements after a Control Panel uninstall. Unfortunately, away from home I don't have access to FD and where these are located.
If you can wait, I'm back home from next Monday?
Thank you Mike waiting is not a problem-as an aside I use Revo Uninstaller to remove any programs as it does appear to be a little more thorough or perhaps I am being naive!
Thanks again and regards-
G.B.
This instal problem has moved on a notch,noting Anmer`s comment re.Flight Display not always removing all the relative files on an uninstal a more diligent search did in fact reveal some FD files remaining,they were in the SBS-Resources folder(?),having removed these items I again attempted to instal the latest version of FD but it got no further than previous efforts but this time the original error message did not appear instead it was replaced by an window which informed that"Unable to instal application contact application vendor".
Any further advice welcome.

Despite the efforts of Anmer,thanks Mike,my instal problems with the F.D. Ver 7-93 continue.
With the aid of System Restore I have rolled back my computer to a point when I had Flight Display installed,albeit Ver. 7-92,Control Panel
confirms this,so click on the FD icon F.D. loads and displays the F.D. screen,so far so good,click start on F.D. screen and immediately the following message appears-
"(SCREENLOAD)
Database cannot be found.
Please check that FD7.s3db in the \userdata directory
FlightDisplay will now quit".
Any suggestions as to the next course of action would be appreciated
Regards-
G.B.
Hi Graham
FD will be looking for its database in the location specified in the FD7.dat file. Please open that with a text editor and check the path and then check the directory to see if the FD7.s3db file is there?
I have opened FD7Dat file in notebook,I am unsure what I am looking for as there are 202 entries in this file.Can you advise please?

G.B.
What does it say for Userdatapath?
[Attachment deleted by Admin to save file space]
C:\Users\Graham\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Kinetic\BaseStation\Userdata
False
Does this help?
Regards-
G.B.
As l.ong as that's where your FD7.s3db file is?
No! All this folder contains is:-
BaseStation.xsl
FD7dat
temp1 xml
temp2 xml
Regards-
G.B.
That's what's missing, the FD7.s3db.
Shall I email you one?
Yes please! I will PM my e mail address
Regards-
G.B.
Delighted to report I now have FlightDisplay again,albeit Ver 92,but I can live with that.
My thanks to Anmer for his patience and time,another clear indication of the assistance provided by the knowledgeable members on this forum to members who strive to improve.
Many thanks to all concerned.

G.B.
You can try replacing the Flightdisplay.exe with the latest one?
Sounds good.Now the inevitable question-How?
Regards-
G.B.
Sorry Graham, I overlooked your post.
If you search for the existing Flightdisplay.exe, rename it Flightdisplay.exe.old and then place the latest one in the same folder. Then restart FD and see if it works OK.
Thank you Mike,will give it a go.
Regards-
G.B.
Job done as Anmer suggested and it would appear to be successful inasmuch that FD now gets its pictures from the Internet and the spurious advertising no longer appears.
In the FlightDisplay Options 1 screen does one tick both,local images/Internet Images,or go for a single option?
Regards-
G.B.
If you tick both, you will need an amended Aircraft Details window to display local and web images.
MouseMode only shows the web images.
Thanks for that Mike.

G.B.
