1.
Simply double click the .exe file for your version of Flight Simulator and a WinZip box will appear that will automatically install the base package to the proper directories inside of the Flight Simulator locations as shown below:

For FS9 (FS2004) Users:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9

For FS2002 users:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002


2.
When the Winzip window appears MAKE SURE there is a check in the box "OVERWRITE FILES WITHOUT PROMPTING". If you do not put a check in the box to allow the files to overwrite, the product WILL NOT update.

NOTE: If your version of Flight Simulator 2002 or 2004 is located on your hard drive other than where I have indicated above you MUST use the browse button of the Winzip self extractor and browse the extractor manually to the correct location. YOUR FLIGHT SIM INSTALLATION IS PROBABLY WHERE I INDICATED ABOVE AND THE WINZIP SELF EXTRACTOR DOES NOT NEED THE BE BROWSED. MANUAL BROWSING IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR ADVANCED USERS WHO HAVE MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR INSTALLED IN A NON-DEFAULT LOCATION.

3.
Click "UNZIP" on the Winzip self extractor box and that will allow the contents to extract directly and update your space shuttle product.

The base package is now installed. Next, OPEN the INSTALL_GAUGES folder in this directory and follow the instructions from the provided readme in that folder.
