WoAI installer keeps a record of your installed packages in a file in the WoAI folder...'WOAIDATA' for FS9 ('WOAIDATAX' for FSX). To reset the installer to a 'new' condition you can simply remove the WOAIDATA file.

If you didn't remove the WOAIDATA file before running the installer on you new FS install, it still thinks the packages are installed. As the package(s) files are not found in your FS install, it offers the 'repair' and installs the files.

The only problem I can foresee: Until you get all the packages 'repaired' you may run into installer errors in 'Expert' mode.

AMAZING!!!
MANY THANKS, worked like a clock.
Thank You!!!

Now a lazy question.
Is there a way to instal multiple packs at the same time?And for eg. If you need to reinstall your FS are there any files you can save so you dont need to go the intire process of instal again?
Thank You

...As explained in WoAI's Installer Documentation.doc........

-The WoAI installer allows selection of multiple packages for install. (Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple files with the mouse.)

-The WoAI installer has backup and restore options in Expert mode.

Alternately, you can backup WoAI aircraft folders and traffic*.bgl files and copy them back into FS9 after your new install. They're easy to identify. The aircraft folders and the traffic files all contain the the letters 'WoA' in their names. The traffic files are in the ..\Scenery\World\scenery\ folder.

I've been looking for this answer. This solves a lot of my AI problems. I was wondering where this info was stored. Much thanks Dave!
