Hi all

 

I have recently bought the Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition. My new computer has Windows 8.1. Once I make an attempt to install the game by inserting CD, it briefly loads and then immediately a pop up window display with an error whcih say as follows: Install Shield 1628. failed to complete Installation. I would appreciate if someone could please give me some assistance to thsi problema, since I don´t know what to do about it

 

Regards

Same fix should apply to Windows 8.1.

 

Think of Windows 8.1 as the Service Pack updated version of Windows 8. For example, Windows XP was eventually replaced by Windows XP SP2b as it's final updated version. Microsoft stopped using the language Service Pack and used the .1 moniker to indicate the update.

Thanks very much!!
