FSX-MS FSX Service Pack 2 not installing

[Stelios 11]

Hi Guys

 

I can not install FSX Service Pack 2 on my windows 7 pro 64bit PC

I get the below message:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X Service Pack 2 Setup ended before completing installation. Your system has not been modified...."

Service Pack 1 installed OK

After a Google search I found two folks who said they had to uninstall SP1 and FSX again and make sure

nothing left of FSX and then did a reinstall and everything worked.

I did uninstall SP1 as well as FSX and did a fresh installation again with no add ons. SP1 installed OK but again not be able to install SP2,

It drives me nuts because without SP2 I can not installed the PMDG aircraft I bought.

FWIW, I too had this issue, unable to re-install FSX SP1,SP2, etc. Then discovered it is a Registry thing, so did a re-format and OS re-install. Thereafter FSX,SP1, etc all re-installed fine,

My solution, but may not be your option..............

For what it worth I removed my boxed version of FSX and installed FSX:SE steam edition much more stable and includes the full acceleration.

OK what I did is to uninstalled FSX and then manually deleted all FSX files in my PC. Reinstalled again and now SP2 successfully installed.

thanks for your help guys.
