Hi all

 

For a couple of days now have been trying to install SP1 for FSX i reainstalled FSX and tried to install al the add-ons including PMDG NGX.

But when i try to install the SP1 i get the message ( FLIGHT SIMULATOR X SP1 INSTALLATION DID NOT COMPLETE SUCCESFULLY)

I have never had this problem before and i have googled it and searched every forum but no one seems to have a solution to this problem.

And without it i cannot install my PMDG add-ons and i have been at it for days now trying to find a solution but i cannot find it anywhere.

So is there someine here on the forum that knows and might have a solution for my problem or direct me to a link or whatever that could take me further?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jeffrey

I would:

Make sure the install is running as administrator.

Re-download SP1 and try again.

Try installing SP2, it may be that it has installed and it's just being awkward.

Other than that, I would think re-installing fsx would be the only other solution (but don't hold me to that, there are some very smart people on this forum :smile:).

Hello Jeffrey,

 

I had this problem to one time!

The only way to get FSX working again for me was to install acceleration pack fsx!

If I remember correctly

 

Hope you have it!

Hi guys,

 

thanks for your support! I tried it but it wont work i have FSX gold edition and i have re-installed FSX three times at least and still i got nothing.

Sp2 says it needs sp1 to continue so i know that sp1 is not installed! i have ren the application on administrator all the time and even tried without it and still nothing!

Never had this before and no solutions on this topic anywhere on the internet. :wacko:

Try running the Flight1 registry repair tool before installing SP1, that may help.

Jeffrey,

 

I don't have the Gold Edition myself but a search indicates it's got Acceleration incorporated in it so does it need SP1 and SP2?

FSX Gold includes Acceleration, and Acceleration includes SP2. Install Gold and you're done.

Hi

 

Try downloading .Net or Re-installing it , Usually solves most problems with installations & microsoft products

I knew that so i tried to install PMDG MD-11 and it asked me to install SP1 or higher and thats the problem it wont let me install Sp1 so again i have completely removed FSX and tomorrow i will try again!

 

Thanks guys for the possible solutions and advises much appreciated!

I had this problem a long time ago. After you load FSX, start it up and close it properly, then restart your computer. If memory serves I think FSX finalizes install after running it. Then load the SP's. I hope this helps ya.

Jeffrey,

 

I have never experienced this before, BUT... I always install FSX, then does as DLWbluues suggests, I start FSX up, then exits the program then install the SP's. But then again, I use the Deluxe Edition so I don't have the SP's incorporated.

 

Good luck!

 

Kind regards

I tried what you said unfortunately that didn't work also, never had this before it's really strange i am still searching for a solution on this problem but nothing thus far.

Since you said you uninstalled fsx and doing a re install of fsx since this is likely to registy files issues due to the unistallation of your fsx, . I suggest you use ccleaner its a free download and run the program it will remove any left over registy files. Than try again dont know if your got fsx acceleration included in your fsx addition but if you have you dont need sp1 or sp2 since its included already.
