Issue trying to reinstall FSX

[vegasjon 39]

Hello all

 

I am experiencing an issue when trying to reinstall FSX... Soon after aasking for the second disk to be inserted, it will give me an unhandled exception error window with "Error Number 0x80040702 Failed to load DLL: GameuxInstallHelper" and the install terrminates. I have gone through the registry best I can to remove all Flight Sim related entries, deleted all folders, temp areas, profile user folders with references to MSFT Flight Sim, ran CCleaner multiple times, and there is no uninstall info available in the Add/Remove software list or through CCleaners app cleanup utility...Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Jon

I'm not sure what version of Windows you are running but here is a fix for Vista users (which should also work for Windows 7/8 users) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968365.

Hi all, new to the site. I am having the same error come up when trying to install on my new laptop that runs windows 8.1. I have gone through the steps given in the link above, used the fix it app, but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it be worth backtracking to Windows 7 ultimate to get the game to work(works on my old laptop).
