[solved] FS Passengers 2015 Not Detecting Correct Drive?

[Phant0mKn1ght]

Hello All!

Just want to say thanks for all the extra work everyone does around here to keep this product alive. It's truly great! So the
issue I am having installing on FSX:Se is
FSPassengers (the absolute newest version) is not detecting the correct drive. It detects the directory correctly(which is
U:\Program Files
(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX). However when I go to install the software, it says I only have 15.7gb of free space, and
it will only take 142.mb. Now you
wouldn't think this was a problem, however 15.7 is what is available on my boot SSD (the C and as stated above FSX:SE is in
the (U drive. I have followed all proper
install steps (installing simconnect in the proper order, etc) and It just isn't showing up in the actual simulator. Any
ideas anyone? Is there something I am missing?
Below is my install log...

Hi,

It check freespace for the install directory of FsPassengers witch is in C:\

"-FsPassengers will be installed in: C:\Users\Public\Documents\FsPassengers"
"-Check free space"
"-Free space Total Mb available: 16124"

-Do you have a log.txt in this folder ? Can you post it here please ?

Cheers

Dan

I should also state that I have zero addons. Everything is default.

Can you make a search on your computer about "dll.xml" file ?
