FBW Installer failing all the time now

I have always have been able to update the FBW A320nx , however the latest installer keeps failing and won’t update. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with the latest version of the installer and I still get the error. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

New installer: first download stable version; empty your community folder first; the name of the folder has changed into → flybywire-aircraft-a320-neo

Okay, that worked, the stable version 5.4 installed. However, when I try to switch to the Dev version it fails.

Restart the downloader and check version 1.1.1

Hello,
I have moved your post to the Party Addon Discussion > Aircraft section, as the Default Aircraft section is only for un-modded aircraft that came with the sim.

Yes, it is version 1.1.1 of the installer, it still fails on switching to Dev version. I will try re-downloading the installer. Just reinstalled, I can get Stable version and it will switch to Custom version, but fails on Dev version.

Thanks for helping!

I have the same problem. The issue is the MSFS Community folder is now “Read Only”. If I remove the read only property, it reapplies the read only property immediately. This will not allow the FBW updater to work. Updates will fail every time now. Only way around this is to download the latest build off the FBW website and extract it directly into the Community folder.

I had no issue with the latest installer. What I did was:

  1. I didn’t have the installer installed in the first place. So for those who do, maybe it’s a good idea to completely uninstall the installer.
  2. I delete all the older A32NX mod folder from the community folder. This includes the one Inside the community folder and the one outside it, in the Packages Folder. Completely delete them both.
  3. I download the latest installer version 1.1.1 from the GitHub Page.
  4. Run the Setup.EXE as Administrator.
  5. Once installed, Run the FBW Installer as Administrator.
  6. Install the version that you want.

This allowed me to install the stable version, but the FBW installer fails to switch to the development version.

Maybe try not to use the “Switch” version but instead delete the stable version and do a fresh installation of the Dev version.

I just used the installer to update my development version. Worked perfectly. As always…

According to FBW discord, there are several of us who are having new installer issues.

We had some maintenance on our download infrastructure last night to hopefully resolve the current issues for certain users of the installer.

Thank you! This fixed my issue with the development version. I had the stable version installed and was able to switch to the development version today using the “switch” button in the FBW installer.

I am getting an fragmented error everytime I try to update either the stable or dev version

Hi there,

it seems you’re not able to connect to our download servers.

To verify that this issue is not caused by your Internet Service Provider, you can try again by using a VPN service. We recommend for example https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn/ as they offer a free plan. You can also use any other VPN of your joice.

(ProtonVPN is not associated with FlyByWire Simulations. We only suggest this solution as an example.)
