April 25, 201313 yr On 13 march 2013 I requested help in order to install FSX in Windows 7 or Widnows 8 because both systems where giving me errors 1722 and 1603. I seached the forum since and could not get a solution until yesterday. I even intalled FS2004 so I could go on VATSIM. I found a solution on Flightsim Microsoft Community.

Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, tap or click Get started. Follow the instructions on the screen.

However it does allow you to install FSX. After running Refresh you PC, I ran MicrosoftKB928080 solution, remember to run the Cmd prompt as administrator for it to work. I immediately installed FSX and it worked flawlestly. Apparently the link to MicrosoftKB928080 has been removed, it apparently broke other applications, if it is so search for ''msicuu2'' From what I understand, is that PC vendors do not use the original disk to install windows 8, instead they use a master machine. I noticed that my Windows 8 disk was still sealed in the box. This causes error in installation of some systems. Hope tis can help somebody. I ran
