November 8, 201312 yr If the FSX DVD does not work, go into the DVD directory and right click the FSX installer and select Run as Administrator. Problem with Windows 8 is too much security. You might try disabling your User Assess Controls before trying to run the installation program again. Best regards, Jim For OP: You might try downloading and running AppCrashView at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html and post the results of the crash here for analysis. Try disabling User Access Controls. You can find out how to disable UAC by going to Google.com and search for "how do I disable user access controls in Windows 8?"
