Hello Bruce
Did you read the thread I mentioned at FScom.
This will go a long way to explaining the whole issue of KB3086255 ,whether your  running the sim with disc 4 in place , or running the sim without the need for disc 4 (crack file which some seem to think is not   the morally correct thing to do)
If you check that particular post it should help you in deciding what you want to do.

Hello Again Bruce!
If you go to FSCom and check out the post "Sim won't load" as I mentioned before.
Pay particular attention to the posts by  by Longbreak 754.
This guy knows his stuff.

Hello Andrew, have finally  got FS 9 working again by removing KB3086255 the sim would not run first time so uninstalled the sim from my computer and did a new install and it WORKED  so i will have to start downloading  aircraft again but i made a back up so should not be much of a problem,

Thank you for all you help in directing me to the information, was a  bit unsure if l would get it right have also changed the MSU update so i can check if it tries to download it again, according to the profile of the Longbreak754 he is not far from me,  could even be a member of the local FS club l sometimes go to
Anyway thanks again very much appreciate all the work the MT do Very Best Regards Bruce EHM-2131

Hello
Glad you are airborne again.
Surprised you had rein Fs9.
If you have a backed up copy of FS9 then what you could have done is installed FS9 anew (as you did) and then simply copied  your backup over the new installation .That way you would not have re download all your aircraft and other addons as you now have to.
On the other hand at least your simming  again and that's the main thing.
Do you use the CD 4 for running your sim ,or the other no CD option (which by the way is no available widely and even obtainable at some FlightSim sites these days)
I have used the latter for years now.

Andy

PS
If you use WU and see that offending file again there is an option to 'Hide it' and that way you won't be troubled by it again.
