Thanks Nick for your help. It works but doesn't. After
doing the clean install, I can load the game but when it
starts to generate the scenery files it hangs and hangs
at different locations. When I check the error report it
shows FS9.exe and hungapp is on the other side. I've
reloaded the game 6 times and can't get it to finish. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Hugh,
The ebu files are temporary files create for the purpose
of installing games
on your system. It sounds like something is corrupting
your temp files,
which could result in both the scenery read error and
send error reports you
have described. Microsoft Support has a Q-Article
(
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;243287&Product=gms#
appliesto) that doesn't specifically apply to FS9, but
details general ebu
errors and how to work around them. I would recommed
the first two steps,
which I've included below:
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Delete the Temp Folder After Your Perform a
Clean Boot
When you start Windows with a typical startup, several
programs start
automatically and run in the background. These programs
may include
antivirus and system utility programs. Such programs may
interfere with the
game and may cause the game to run slowly or unevenly.
For additional
information about how to perform a clean boot, click the
following article

Base:
331796 Games: How to Perform a Clean Boot to Prevent
Background Programs
from Interfering with Play
After you perform a clean boot, empty the temporary
folder in Windows. To do
this, use the method that is appropriate for your system.
Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000
Note The temporary folder is located in each specific
user folder (for
example, C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local
Settings\Temp). To empty
the Windows temporary folder, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type %temp%, and then click OK.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the File menu, click Delete.
Click Yes when you receive the following message: Are
you sure you want to
send these items to the Recycle Bin?
Try installing the game after doing a clean restart and
emptying TEMP
folder. If the issue continues to occur, continue to the
next Method
Method 2: Search for and remove the Ebu file.
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft
Windows 2000 or Microsoft
Windows XP
In the Search for files or folders named box, type the
following line:
ebu*.exe
In the Look in box, click My Computer.
Click Search Now.
Press CTRL+A to select all files.
Press DELETE.
Confirm deletion.
Try installing the game.
Hope this helps.
