I was reinstalling FSX tonight (twice!) and encountered an error both times when the install was almost done. Here is the error message:Error 1335. The cabinet file 'D2Fea-17.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.Abort, Retry, Ignore are the options...Ignore kicks me out of the install. Retry gives the same message. I didn't try Abort but I can guess what that does.Before you tell me my DVD 2 is damaged, let me tell you that I take great care of my stuff, and the DVDs have resided safely in their rigid plastic containers for over 2 years now. How could my DVD get damaged? Or is this something else?Anyone ever seen this error in the FSX install?

Just a tiny fingerprint on a DVD can cause a problem. Get some DVD cleaning stuff, clean it, and try again. If it really is damaged, you can contact Microsoft and they will send you a replacement.Best regards,Jim Young

Hope you get your problem solved

Yes I am without FS and it is no good.I had googled just "Error 1335" and got info about MS Office problems, so I gave up on it. Duh, I did not think to Google *FSX* Error 1335. It was very late though and I was very tired.I am going to clean the DVD first, and hope that works. Thank you for the info.

If it's not fixed yet, try this.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258496

Not to overlook the obvious, but have you cleaned your DVD's lens lately? :(

I'll be able to tell you later, when I have a chance to re-try. ;) I can say this though, I have owned optical drives for 16 years now, and have never had to clean their lens.You guys are great though, you jump right to it immediately if someone asks a question. I will try everything all of you have mentioned, and I will post here the results...And I get what I deserve, trying to install FSX at 1:00 a.m. last night :) It's dedication, I tell you.

I can report that I got FSX to install over the weekend...after cleaning DVD2 with Optrix:http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_det...?Title_ID=16871Now, my wireless adapter on my ASUS motherboard is non-functional and is probably destroyed. I'm having a some bad luck it seems!
