I changed the name to XPlane11. Received same error. Before i started I uninstalled the old version but left RWC installed. I am using El Capitan.

I know cameron is a busy guy and I did put in a ticket. Just very excited about using this new version as I am a big fan of SkyMaxx Pro. Trying to figure out why the message says resources/plugins does not exist or not writeable. It does show that it's there. Any idea how  I can change it the resources file to be writeable? I did uninstall the previous version but did leave real weather connector alone.

I'm not really a Mac expert but I think it's unusual for your Desktop folder to be under Users/user. I think maybe the installer is getting confused about where your X-Plane installation is for some reason. Are you sure you specified the correct location for it when installing? Moving your X-Plane installation somewhere else may be worth a shot, too.

I am pretty sure that I am installing Sky Maxx in the correct location. I did speak to an Apple Level 2 Help Desk person who said my file structure was in good order and verified that it should not be a problem installing the SkyMaxx file. He is also an XP-11 user and a fan of SkyMaxx like me. So not sure what is going on.  Sometimes Apples answers are correct and hopefully this was an instance where they gave me a good answer.

If it were me, I'd install a clean X-Plane 11 in a new folder, re-download the SMP 4.5 installer, and run it to install into your new installation - just as a sanity check. Like Cameron, I've never heard of this happening either - it's something really weird going on, but I'm not sure what.

OK. I will go ahead and do that.

I did download another version of X-Plane 11 and was able to install SMP 4.5. I keep a 2nd version of X-Plane 11 on hand for betas. I tried to install 4.5 on that and got a similar response after uninstalling the previous version. I haven't had a chance to work with SMP 4.5 yet. Is it possible that the previous version of SMP left something behind after uninstalling it?

I honestly don't know; the installer is written and maintained by X-Aviation and I don't know much about how it works. I would imagine it might leave your settings and Gizmo installed, however, which is another plugin all X-Aviation products depend on.

You could try completely deleting your resources/plugins/SilverLining folder after un-installing; that's where SkyMaxx Pro itself resides. But I suspect it's still something specific to where your other two installations are located, or the file permissions on them.
