From SimViation? Do you have the file name?

(Added: Is that the "package" version? If so, i think I found it and am downloading it now.....)

As a rule of thumb, *never* trust the auto-installers. Some work just fine, but others you run the risk of the AC being a "port over" of an FS9 aircraft, and you never know what's going to happen or were the folders are going to end up. For add-ons with an auto-installer, create a folder in you temp download folder and install it in that folder, rather than you sim, then manually install it like a normal add-on.

For this VIA, same as above, is it from SimViation, and what's it's file name?

(Added: Found it too, downloading.....)

Do you have DX10 preview enabled? If so try disabling it.
