flyboy6 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 When I try to install fsx by disc, it seems to get hung up on copying files. I’m using fsx deluxe in fsx. What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Probably just wait until it finishes. Can take long. If halfway "error copying file ..." then use file explorer to browse to that file on the cd. Single click it. (single only). Close file explorer. Go back to install window that's still open. Click 'retry'. --- If when inserting disk you have to wait very long, cd drive makes lot of noise. You may have a conflict with an installed cd writer software running in the background. See my post here (I posted about that in other threads too.) It's not just the one be writer software I use, others do it too. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?297818-Hard-Drive-Noise [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy the content of the disc to the hard drive. Run from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJim Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It just looks like it gets hung up because copying files shows no movement. Wait it out, maybe do something else. It will load. Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi fly, There is a known conflict with the way the data is encoded on the fsx discs and various programs which modify the way discs are read. Microsoft recommends removing the offending programs but I've found that by going into Safe mode and copying both discs to a common folder and running Setup from the new folder works well. Setup can be run in normal mode and installation will be much faster than it would be from disc. The discs have many common files and either skipping or overwriting is okay. Jim F. Here's my FSX folder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Last time I installed FSX to Windows 7, I didn't even get to see the the normal install billboard screens as I did when installing it to Windows 2000 or Windows 98. It was just blank with a file copy screen or something like that. I too thought it was 'hung up'. So I started setup again and went and watched a movie. When I came back, FSX was completely installed! So you just need to be patient.
