[Solved] Installer freezes and does not complete

   Hi,

I've recently redeemed the free aircraft. While 162 seems to have installed with no issues, I cannot successfully do so with the 182.

Every attempt at installing always hangs on a specific file: Navigraph\...\ZSXZ.txt. I tried the suggested steps from the Knowledge Base (turn off antivir, redownload, double check memory), and the usual - restart, running the setup with and without removing previous attempts (which must be done manually), attempting to 'install' into a different drive in a non-protected folder - all of them froze near the end. Attempting to install over a previous attempt hangs up at the same spot, with a "Seeking..." status.

Just to illustrate, I'll try once more, and describe my process step-by-step in case I make a misstep:
downloaded the installer fresh from the client,
turned on airplane mode, shut off antivirus,
run installer, confirm run as admin; picked FSX STEAM option and the steamapps\common\FSX directory,
as expected, the installer hangs on ZSXZ.txt; I waited around 15 minutes for it to unfreeze but alas, it did not respond and I was forced to shut it down.
I noticed the last Navigraph files (including the wrengthy one) are installed in a separate batch from the others, I assume it's intentional but I'll mention it anyways as it seems weird.

Installer version: 1.6
OS: Windows 10 2004
Sim: FSX Steam (beta)

PS. I now cannot remove the font file Glass Gauge T182T.ttf, Windows thinks it's being used by "System". Peachy, but everything else I can delete.
