I would start by copying the entire FSX folder from your old PC to your new PC.

 

Also the appdata\roaming\microsoft\fsx folder, and the programdata\microsoft\fsx folder.

 

Then try to run fsx.exe.

 

It may refuse to run since you do not have the registry entries etc.. or it may ask you for the serial number

and you are good to go.

 

Worth a try!

Bert,

Since I'm a new Member and don't no any Forum where i can get some answer for my problem.

Thanks Bert,

Nothing works,tried every method.
Is there away to remove the old installshield from Disk or Program Files?

 

Again for all your help!

Arno

Sorry, I am not an expert in this..  I have no idea what might be going on..

 

Easiest might be to get a copy of FSX Steam Edition.

 

Shame about your install disks though..

 

Try asking this question in the main FSX forum!
