Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I am installing FSX on windows 7 ultimate X64 bit edition,  at the beginning of installation there is install progress dialogue message which reads "Removing Application",

 

at this point the installation stops and no further activity is displayed except "removing application".

 

What maybe causing this issue?,  and any solution to complete the FSX installation.

 

 

 

Thanking You,

 

Best regards,

 

 

Aftab.

 

 

If you have ever had FSX or FSX+Acceleration on that machine before, you need to completely remove the old install before beginning the new installation.

Same here, W8.1, 64 bit

Any solution found ... ?

 

Thx and best! Willem

Try running this. Select Flight Simulator X Acceleration from the list and try to uninstall it. If successful, proceed to uninstall the base version.

Hi Babu,

You might try letting it run a little longer with "Removing Application" screen before you decide its not doing something.

I recently did a re-install and it did the same thing.

Hello mike,

 

Thank you very much, I did as you suggested, and completed the install process.

 

This recent tendency of FSX to freeze up initially during install on new hardware,  maybe  if it is a hardware issue, as on couple of years older systems,

 

the install process would complete in 6-8 minutes after the installation process was initiated, but now on new hardware it take about 15-20 minutes, before a  install is complete.

 

Thanking You,

 

Best regards,

 

Aftab.
