March 28, 201313 yr I recently installed FSX Standard w/ SP1 & SP2 on a seperate SSD. I haven't used FSX or added anything to the install except to start it a few times. I now want to uninstall the Standard version and install the Gold version. I was able to uninstall the Service Packs using the usual uninstall features found in Programs & Features, but when I try to uninstall FSX itself, little happens. The InstallShield Wizard starts but never finishes except for the first time when it asked me if "everything was working" or "start troubleshooting." I "x'd" out of the dialog box now nothing happens except as explained above. I guess I can delete the FSX folder on the SSD and then delete the other entries elsewhere on the C:\ drive and clean up the registry. Does this approach sound OK or should I look for a utility to do the job? Thanks in advance, Jim Driskell James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)
March 28, 201313 yr Author Solved. I reinstalled FSX w/o the Service Packs over the top of the previous installation and then did a normal uninstall. Worked as advertized. I think FSX will be completely compatable with Windows 8 and I have no quams about going forward with the combination. Jim Driskell James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)
