I have purched the FS2004 and loaded it.. I have downloaded the no CD Patch several times. Cannot find an EXE fike. Just a FS file with the 3 others. Supper frustrated. Even had the wife help, this is getting very desperate. Help please.

As you saw on the download page there are two.
One for the unpatched version and one (9.1) for the patched version.
Be sure to get the right one.
Look in your main 2004 folder and find a icon that has a small aircraft in it.
Remove that and replace it with the download.
It's been a long time since I used it but this is as much as I can remember.
