Some aircraft install their gauge files in a gauges subfolder of their
own folder, eg: fs9\aircraft\name\gauges\ instead of the fs9\gauges
folder then refer to it in their panel.cfg, did you check this?

Also make sure you did not by mistake unzip a gauge.cab file...

Hi Cris,
I have that file downloaded and installed, and have encountered no
problems with it. With my installation, I kept three aircraft: the
emb-135rl, emb-145er, and emb-145xr, with the two emb-145 aircraft
having their sound and panels aliased to the emb-135.

When installing, I extracted all files to a temp folder. Then I placed
the gauges into the emb-135 panel folder, rather than into the
fs9/gauges folder. My emb-135lr panel folder only has two gauge files:
erj.gau and fpda_gear_wind.gau. There should be NO sub folders in the
panel folder.

The following is from the included installation document:

ERJ 135/145 - Full Package - USA Fleet freeware upload (09/20/04)

Reported Problem / Complaint:

- FS2004 program crash when program attempts to load the ERJ gauges
- Unable to see ERJ panel gauges
- FS2004 incompatible with ERJ gauges

Cause:

The Grabowski panel is a FS2000/2002 panel application updated for
FS2004. In order for the Grabowski panel and gauge package to operate
in FS2004, the module "fssound.dll" must be installed in the
FS2004/Modules folder. The "fssound.dll" module must also be
configured in the fs9.cfg file.

This problem is common with almost all 3rd-party pre-FS2002 panel
applications in which sounds were incorporated into GAU files and is
not a panel/gauge defect. The FS2004 program crashes because it is
unable to load the sounds associated with the ERJ gauges and because
the "fssound.dll" is not present.

Solution: (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Verify ERJ Panel gauges exist in the proper file location
Open the "FS2004/Gauges" folder and verify that the following GAU
files exist inside the folder:

- erj.gau 7,684KB
- fpda_gear_wind.gau 9KB

If the above gauge files do exist in the "FS2004/Gauges" folder,
skip down to Step 3.
If the above gauge files do not exist in the "FS2004/Gauges"
folder, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Reinstall the ERJ gauges in the proper file location
Unzip the "ERJ 135/145 - Full Package - USA Fleet" download
again. Find the "erj.gau" and "fpda_gear_wind.gau" files and
reinstall them into your "FS2004/Gauges" folder. Refer to the
Installation Readme for additional help.

Step 3: Installation of the fssound.dll
Unzip the attached file "FSSoundEndUser". Install the
"fssound.dll" into your "FS2004/Modules" folder.

Step 4: Find & Modify the FS9.cfg file

* It is strongly recommended you make a copy of the "fs9.cfg" file
before you make any modifications*

Open your FS2004 (or Flight Simulator 9) folder. Look for a CFG file
called "fs9.cfg". It may be easier to find this file if you
right-click the mouse and "arrange icons by Type". If you find the
"fs9.cfg" file in your FS2004 folder, open it with MS Wordpad and
search for the following command line:

[OldModules]

Add the following command line after [OldModules] so that it now
appears like this:

[OldModules]
fssound.dll=1

If the [OldModules] parameter doesn't exist in your "fs9.cfg"
file, add it.

Save and Exit. Procedure is complete. The ERJ panel should now
operate properly.




Hope this helps.
