First of all Sir, bravo on this incredible sim. I can't wait to give it a go.

Are there installation issues with Windows 7 or Windows 8? Windows 7 I install it the furthest in compatibility for Windows Service Pack 3 and then I get an error that World004.dat can't be found. It's not a corrupt file issue, I've verified I downloaded all the files.

So I tried installing it on my Windows 8 system. No issues with the request for world004.dat. It appears to install all the files but then at the very end of the process it asks to insert a disc. ????? I was installing this under Windows Service Pack 3 compatibility as well.

Did you first extracted the content of the RAR file, than run the installer from the directory you created during extraction?

So were you been able to install SAMSIM?
I used it on Win7/8 and now on Win10.

What was the trick?
