Thanks Rick, submitted a ticket, I will let you know what comes of it. Gareth

Thanks Rick. Do you think its worth rebooting my laptop again to factory settings. Installing FSX. then install SP1, then SP2. Then have another go? Its my only remaining option i think? Any thoughts?

vc10, FSX is running fine! loaded up the A321 in free flight without a hitch. The PMDG installer cant find the FSX directry. Its there, is there a way i can manually select the FSX.exe for the PMDG intstaller? As when i run the installer is gives then message; unable to locate fsx.exe then closes down?! Roger, already tried that many times. Did it and the message said it was successful. Yet when I run the PMDG installer the problem still persists. The aggrovating thing is is that I cant conact PMDG directly - it seems that it just will not install on my computer so I want a refund if this isnt going to work, but as for the lack of contact details for PMDG i cant see that i will be able to get a refund. Dissapointed because on my old laptop I was regularly flying the PMDG 747 and loved every minute and was really looking forward to getting to grips with the 73! Gareth

vc10man, Thanks for the prompt response. Yes the FSX.exe icon is there. The FSX installation was perfect, runs fine and all the files are right (been flight simming for years now so i can tell). Even when I run the suggested flight1 resgistry fix tool, the fsx.exe icon shows, I click it and it says it has repaired the registry. Yet even then, the PMDG installer flags the same message; unable to locate fsx.exe. Any thoughts? tearing my hair out now been working on fixing this for 2 days now! All the best

Hi everyone, Now im guessing this question has been asked before, because upon using a google search theres lots of information flagged up from this forum but the links are dead, so apologise in advance if this has already been covered; Ok, so heres my info and problems; I recently completely re-booted by laptop with the intention of solely using it for FSX + PMDG 737NGX. I am running windows vista. I installed FSX using the guidelines set out by PMDG. I installed FSX as follows. installed to C:\FSX. Then followed the guidelines on installing the SP1 and SP2. Rebooted the laptop etc. Upon trying to install the PMDG 737 package the installation wizard starts then the following error message shows: 'unable to locate fsx.exe. unable to install' I have tried everything. Running FSX as admin. Running PMDG installer as admin. Completely uninstalling SP2, SP1 and FSX, then reinstalling, still happens. I used the flight1 registry fix tool but that doesnt work either?! I'd really appreciate some help as I spent the £45 on the addon and am excited about using it. Thanks all Gareth
