An error shows when installing FSTools.

Uninstall FSTools before installing, or "updating" it. Restart your computer if it persists.

Adding entries not using the app will void error prevention. We do not endorse file editing unless stated otherwise within the NOTAM section.

About FSTools

FSTools is a closed-source program designed by ZotacAviation#9949 to compete with other programs like SimToolKitPro and projectFLY. Our first full release of the program was v1.0.0r9 on 25 May 2020. It was a shaky start, but eventually we created a working program by v1.3.0. The development team consists of solely ZotacAviation#9949. If you are interested in developing for FSTools, you're out of luck here.
