Uninstall the F-4E, then reinstall in the following order:

Base package
TACPACK integration package
ADV package (if you have it)

ok going to do this. and i do not have the ADV model . Also i already had VSR tacpack ,was it necessary to get the Milviz one for $14.00 . If these are the same packs i installed both.

ok i searched for the Phantom II tacpack and the only thing showing is the installer. Its as if it never loaded. Also when i click the installer to uninstall ,it just goes forward as if it will in install to a new folder or destination. As i mention before the only Tacpack i see on my computer is the VRS Tacpack. Would i have to uninstall that one?
ok. uninstalled the VSR tacpack install the F 4E then reinstalled the VSR tacpak ,ant still no load out Could not find the Phantom II tacpack v A1 180712 on the computer anyware.

The Milviz TACPACK integration package is what integrates VRS TACPACK into the Milviz F-4E (As I understand, you bought both from FSPilotShop?). Only the base package has the uninstaller check box in the installer. So run the base package installer first.

I believe doodlebug/Oisin sent you the latest installers?

Yes Osh sent me the latest installer. Now when i run the installer , I select the sim version FSX SE then i select the Uninstall and the End Users License Agreement pops up. Once i click accept , the intallation window pops up asking what folder i want to install to . By the time i get to this point the F 4E is still in the FSX folder. here are some screen shots. and should i continue with the process.

The ETP indicates that you are running the TACPACK installer, not the base installer when you try to uninstall. The base installer is a much bigger file than the TACPACK installer.

I truly believe i do not have the base Installer , When i ordered the the tacpack from FSPilotshop , that ETP installer is all that came in the zip file.

Wait, I am a bit confused now. Didn't you buy the original F-4E before you bought the TACPACK package?

Yes but it was and Older model . Osh gave me an email with an downloadable link ,with the latest F 4E v A1 180712 , the tacpack i got from FSpilotshot has the same version numbers. The first F 4E i had on FSX SE was version A1 150803SE.

Download the installer that Osh sent you and run that first. Can't do anything with the ETP installer until you have uninstalled and reinstalled with the base pack.
