  1. An add-on can cause a high spike in memory. As I mentioned, there are a host of reasons why an OOM can occur and can occur even in quick fashion. Some things I've discovered have not even been mentioned on FS forums. Bottom line, unless you do actually have some serious issue with an add-on, the 4gb is enough to handle virtually anything you can do or use in FS9 and not have it crash. FSX, that's another story! haha
  2. It's as Loki explained. In simple terms, think of it like a very easy and free computer upgrade for FS9. It gives your computer double the virtual memory when you run FS9. The combination of add-ons you are running were simply using more memory than you had available. When you run out of memory, FS9 crashes. The patch extends your memory from 2gb to 4gb so when using those add-ons there is still memory left over by the time you finish your FS9 session. Every FS9 user should have the patch installed. As I said earlier, it takes very little to run out of memory and there are a host of reasons the 2gb can easily be exceeded. The patch extends the memory enough that once installed, it becomes virtually impossible to ever run out of memory again.
  3. Yes!!! Before wasting time doing all the things you are doing or people are suggesting here, run this patch! If you still have problems, then you will need to start looking at everything else. It takes next to nothing for FS9 to run out of memory not patched. You may not even have a problem at all. Run the patch and get FS9 up to 4gig. Then see if you actually even have a problem. It harms nothing, point it to your FS9.exe and it'll patch it.
  4. You haven't answered if you have the 4gb patch. It's the first thing you should do.
  5. There are a range of issues with setup.exe's on Win 10/11 from old games. Different problems for different users. You may be fine but the next user may not. What is happening to the OP is exactly what happens, the exe does not execute.
  6. Make sure you have updated FS9 to 4gb of virtual memory.
  7. This is almost certainly a path problem. You need to make sure the correct path to FS9 is set in the registry for the FS9.exe. The setup issue off the USB stick is one of the great new problems Win 10 introduces. In future keep using the discs.
  8. Some people almost feel pressure they need to move on and when they do, try and convince themselves they are happy. In just about everything, many people are realising moving forward is not what they really want and they simply don't do it. I've been this way for several years now and can't express how ridiculously happy I've been!

    SCENERY

    Do you get like an intro type screen that pops up and when you select the install option nothing happens?
  10. Can you mention the file as it may help others in the future? A lot of components required to run old software have been dropped in Win 10/11. To get things working often needs manual intervention which quite possibly appears to have been your case.
  11. Activation server might've shut down. Try another time and/or keep trying to contact them. This is what happens in time and why I never supported online anything.
  12. Can be a million reasons something won't install. More information. Where does it go wrong during the install?
  13. You should need to do nothing more to get FS9 running than: 1. Install FS9 2. Update to v9.1 with official patch 3. Download and replace the original fs9.exe in your main FS9 directory with the nocd version. That's it!
  14. I'm the same, never leave it to the installer but the VOZ system works well. It's good to have VOZ because you can also easily select a VOZ region for a different FS look for other areas of the world.
