wing06 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I have FSX install on an external drive (H) and when I try to install FSX Acceleration it will only install to the C drive. Any ideas on how to get around that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Isn't there a browse for the install directory. I was able to install FSX in the root of C without issue. OOM errors? Read this.

JSkorna Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Your Windows registry has no idea where FSX is installed. Use the Flight 1 registry repair tool. Then Acceleration will install. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 FSX Acceleration comes in two parts, first FSX itself on 2 DVDs, and then Acceleration on one DVD. To make this work, you have to install FSX itself on the H: drive first, and if I remember correctly, the very first question you get during that installation is if you want to do a normal installation or a custom one. Select custom here, and then you can select to install to other locations than the default one. When that installation is done, install Acceleration, which will install to the same location automatically. Also read the other threads about installing FSX, there are plenty of little tips in them.

wing06 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I did that and it went to install on the C drive and not the H drive were I have FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Then I am sorry to say that there's something wrong with your base installation of FSX. Is this a reinstall, or your first install on this system? I installed my own FSX the way I described on my F: drive, and it went just as described.

il88pp Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 External drives don't always keep their dirve letters. If it was drive I when installing FSX Deluxe, and it's now drive G, it will not work. This is a constant problem. Plugging in a thumbdrive adds a drive letter, and thing go wrong. Unplugging one same. Best install fsx on an internal drive. It's not fs2004.
