Help! Lost my FSX.exe!

Be advised...uninstalling FS Force 2 or Wheelcam will delete your FSX.exe I just lost mine today. I tried to replace the exe from a backup of the installation files but now I get a Error ID = 25 (null) when I try to start FSX.HELP!ARGH!

If you have the disk space, backup your add-ons first. You'll have to reactivate, but as long as you haven't changed out your HW that should be no issue, unless you run into the eror 1722 issue, in which case you'll have to run the resetsdl function MS released. You can get the utility and instructions for use here.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928080/en-us

NOOOOO I had a heck of time installing this if I remember...had to do the copy to the HDD thing... never though I'd have problems removing it...Just great...ok I got that fixed whew...but now, new problem...I think uninstalling FSX messed up FS9... Ge Pro doesn't work anymore, something about the registry for FS9 missing ARGH!! Jeeese why so difficult to uninstall FSX???

Use the repair option, if it's still available to you!!

Thanks
