August 14, 201312 yr Hey guys, Today i decided to uninstall FSX and re install it. However it seems i cant re install it. every time i go to install it the installation starts for about 5 seconds then i recieve the error message. Anyone be able to help me thank you
August 14, 201312 yr Seems like your InstaShield or other Windows components might be corrupted. I would first run a Registry Scanner Fixer (CCleaner is free, I use PC Tools Registry Mechanic but it’s not free.), then I would run a windows Cleanup and probably a CheckDisk Also run the FS-X installer in Administrator Mode. If it keeps failing then try the suggestions on this page: Microsoft Games: InstallShield Error Messages Hope that helps! Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.

August 15, 201312 yr Hey Ryan, I had the same problem trying to install a fresh copy of FSX a few months back on a new machine. Spent days googling the problem, but in the end I managed to fix it. The trick was to create a new user in Windows and install there (as administrator) - worked fine then. Cheers Jack Jack Johnston
