ok, fixed that issue... but still getting "flight sim not found" and i am at a loss. i am not interested in continuing to re-install, and my FSUIPC is fine (run other programs with the latest version, and they are all working fine).

When re-installing, everything was placed in the same directory, etc as before and the program itself us running smooth. other than the "permission" request at start-up, nothing else is making logical sense...
