February 23, 201412 yr Hey Guys, My FSX was corrupt and i have not played it for a while. I wanted to play it again so i Uninstalled it and then when i went to Re-install it i got this message. "A later version of "Microsoft Flight Simulator X' is already installed on this machine." Does anyone know what the problem is? Do you know how i can solve it? Thank you for reading and i hope you can help me as i am really eager to get back into it. Kind Regards Ryan
February 23, 201412 yr hi best way I re installed fsx, I re formatted hard drive. started with fresh computer, start new, or youl have error messages, you need to get rid of all fsx files, or youl have the same problem .. put regedit in your search box, and get rid of all fsx files is the other option
February 23, 201412 yr Author Where do i find that? i have looked at the regedit but there is no other folder?
February 23, 201412 yr put that in your search box lower left, hit enter youl get bunch of boxes , hk systems ect find software Microsoft games in boxes fsx delete fsx 10 , if you have a lot of addons then the best way is to re format hard drive start from new. I have a ton of addons so I do this once a year to clean pc

February 23, 201412 yr yes. reload your I net disk ect, its worth it or you will have multiple fsx files, corrupt ect every time you load fsx, unless you get rid of these files , I found this is the best way fsx has no tech support anymore

February 23, 201412 yr Author Okay, I was able to Uninstall FSX. However when i go to install it i am getting 1722 error message at the beginning of the instillation. I have tried the fix in admin status and that still hasn't helped it. Anyone be able to help?
February 23, 201412 yr You have to make sure everything was uninstalled, even the stuff in the hidden folders. Here's a guide I recommend - http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx. After you uninstall, I would run a registry cleaner before reinstalling.
