The FFGo dialog reachable via ''Help → About'' displays the versions of the main dependencies used by FFGo. In case you entered an invalid path, or some other error, a hint is generally given there. In any case, troubleshooting information is always printed to the terminal (if you ran ''ffgo.exe'' as opposed to ''ffgo-noconsole.exe'') and to the FFGo log file located in the <tt>%APPDATA%\FFGo\config</tt> folder (do a Google search with keywords “Windows” and “APPDATA” if you don't know what this means). | The FFGo dialog reachable via ''Help → About'' displays the versions of the main dependencies used by FFGo.

# Write down exactly what you did, copy the error messages, take screenshots to make sure you won't miss anything, and report your problem in [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=27054 FFGo's thread on the FlightGear forum]. | |||
# If you feel adventurous and want to solve the problem all by yourself, a user reported success using the get-pip.py script as explained on [https://pip.pypa.io/ the pip home page]. Personally, I would first try running something like <code>py -3 -m ensurepip</code> from a Command Prompt, but both methods should work to install <tt>pip</tt> into a Python installation where it is missing (<code>py -3</code> invokes the [https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#launcher Python Launcher for Windows] to automatically find the latest Python 3.x installation present on your system; you can use <code>py -3.5</code> to invoke Python 3.5, etc.). | |||
