777-300 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 I have tried 3 times and all 3 times I am receiving this error messages. I have not elected the proxy server.
Cameron Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Could be the crazy folder name you have for X-Plane. Haven't seen this before.
777-300 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) 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. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) Processor 4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB 500GB of Flash Storage Edited May 28, 2017 by 777-300 Adding Information
777-300 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Posted June 18, 2017 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. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) Processor 4 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB 500GB of Flash Storage
sundog Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 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 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.
AeroPictor Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) As a Mac user since the 90, May I wonder if you may be run short of space on your desktop? The desktop is a folder that sits on your startup volume, with only 500 GB, it might get tight; Just a question… Edited June 19, 2017 by kickremi
sundog Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 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.

777-300 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) 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? Edited June 20, 2017 by 777-300 edit
sundog Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 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.
