fs9.1 update does not run; .dll missing

If you update from 9.0 to 9.1 then you have to use a different crack

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 v9.1 No-CD Patch for FS2004 (flyawaysimulation.com)

Thanks, but it does not start. It says that MSVCR70.dll is missing. I unpacked it and started it from the fs9 folder. Correct?

Hope this helps.

getting MSVCR70.dll was not found - Microsoft Community

Thanks! I will try!

Hi, I went through the text in the link but unfortunately, I can't get it fixed. I don't get the MSVCR70.dll "restored". Although, it is present in the fs9 folder...?! Even after re-installation and HDD scan and repair and compatibility mode,... Do you know under what path the MSVCR70.dll needs to be located? How could I find that out? Thanks again for your support!

If your system is 64 Bit, copy the "Msvcr70. dll" library and paste it into "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" directory. NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, you must copy the dynamic link library to both the "sysWOW64" and "System32" directories.

Hi, this was a good hint to copy the file in both directories; that worked. I had several other missing files, but solved these issues. Now, the lastest bug is that the file DEM4KM.gbl is missing or damaged. I restored it from the installation CD, but it didn't help. Same error meassage. Sorry to bother you again, but any idea? Thanks man!

See if this thread works for you.

FS won't start... Missing File.. | Flight Sim Q&A Forum (flyawaysimulation.com)

Too bad, this thread doesn't help. I got still stuck with the 'damaged or missing file dem4km.bgl'. You don't have another idea, do you? Thanks!

See if this helps.

If not the drop in Disk #1 and choose repair.

Hi, No, somehow, it doesn't work. But the video was for the launch of the fs9 itself, right? But I am still struggling with the installation of the patch. Somewhere, I read that both patch version (the no-CD patch and the other one (https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2795/flight-simulator-2004-update-v91/) are valid and you have to figure out which one is applicable for your system. But do you know how to do that?
The second problem is that I have no repair function on the CD set... There is no option to choose.
Do you think it could be worth it buying another set of installer CDs and try?
By the way, I also tried the installation on another PC that originally ran under WIN7 and was upgraded to WIN10. But I have the same issues like with my desktop.
Thanks again!

The sim right out of the box is 9.0 and takes the 9.0 patch.
The sim patched is 9.1 and takes the 9.1 patch.
If you want to use the crack it's the same principle, 9.0 for 9.0 and 9.1 for 9.1

Also for your other problem.
