October 5, 200619 yr Guys,Just a quick heads up, it may just be me, but last night I unistalled the FSX Demo (v2) and it hosed some registry settings for my FS9 installation, notably for the Reality XP GNS in the DF Beech A36 and the installer for REP.Flights would not load in FS9 with any aircraft. Took me a while to restore the registry.Be careful....... Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
October 5, 200619 yr Author it did it to me. Read in another thread to use the Flight1 registry restoration tool. Worked like a champ.Caveat Emptor!bt
October 8, 200619 yr Where can I find the registry restoration tool? I have done a search, but cannot locate it.James
October 8, 200619 yr Hi James,Here you go, it's the first link at the top of the page: http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=libraryJim Karnhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_pf.jpg
October 22, 200619 yr Uninstalling the FSX Demo V2 also removes the registry information for FS2002!! :-roll. Luckily AFCAD came to the rescue :D. I opened AFCAD and a dialog box appeared. I had to show the location of the FS directory and it then gave me an option to fix the registry :) Quote from MS Flight Team Lead: "We’ve made some guesses"
October 22, 200619 yr I only have Demo (V1) I don't use it though since I did have a hard lockup during downloading real weather. I use Fs9 okay, but I haven't bothered uninstalling (V1) Does anyone know if V1 affects your registry like V2? I also created a restore point before installing this so I could go back. Perhaps with V2 have anyone tried making a restore point before installation and going back to the restored point after uninstallation of the FSX demo? Would this bring the registry back? Any info would be great.Thank You,Kurt.
October 22, 200619 yr I had no problems at all when I uninstalled Demo 1. I later installed Demo 2, so I hope my luck will still hold when I dump it.Bob
October 22, 200619 yr I had no problems uninstalling the first demo, but when I uninstalled the second one, it hosed my registry. Fortunately the file from Flight 1 fixed it, quick and easy.Jim
