Do you have any freeware on there? All my planes/scenery since XP 2002-2003 I pieced together 1000's of hours, I've been using MSFT FS since DOS 2.0 -through Win 10, all my moves from XP to 7 to 10 were pretty much swoobbie's way...
Can you delete your UK folders? I know they're in the registry and that's a bugger! I hate registry cleaners etc.
I figure most all repairs can be done with a good backup/restore Acronis, and DOS, Regedit etc...
To make a long story longer
I keep all my planes(I only fly The biggest Planes Boeing, Airbus, Antonovs etc.)/ scenery zips in a folder, the best and hardest 2 were the worx and 9dragons, well worth it IMO

Loki,
You have FS9 installed but won't launch?
Can you go into your scenery folder and rename all your pay ware folders UK.bak

Hi Deauxwolf
UT Europe and UT Canada download from Flight1 creates folders in FS Scenery folder and scenery.cfg - see picture.
What I was trying to say is that just simply copying and pasting these to the newly installed FS2004 does not seem to work. When I did this and went to any European or Canadian airport, it simply shut down the FS. So I am assuming that this pay ware cannot be just simply copied and pasted to the newly installed FS2004. Perhaps it must be downloaded again from Flight1. Unless I did something wrong?
Interestingly enough the UK airports I downloaded from UK2000 (also pay ware) can be just simply copied and pasted to the newly installed FS.

Did some testing and transferring the pay ware is the issue.
Have some pay ware Flight1 scenery (UT Europe and UT Canada) and copying from the back-up drive to the newly installed FS2004 does not seem to work. I think Fligt1 put some well deserved block there.
So would need to either purchase it again or use the activation code from my previous genuine purchase. It might be hard to figure out how to do it??
Sorry, I thought you were talking to elcajonblvd, I think you'll find the solution on this thread, if you can copy/cut/paste ;-'

looks like it's on c:\
now you need to replace the fs9 file with the 1 you d/l e d(9.1 patch), then, change the properties to xp2 or 3, save, then rt., click it and create shortcut etc.

Yes, computer is new dell xps 8950 windows11 PC tower, with a regular Mouse.
I have " dragged" and "dropped" the patch out onto the main desktop till i find FS9.exe to drop it on.
I found a things that have FS9 but none have the " .exe" on the end.
Yes the new (fs9 no exe) patch file should have replaced the original in C:\Flight Simulator 9... Then you right click it, properties/ details, it should be version 9.1.0 (4????)0 then you can right click it, Compatibility, pull down menu click XP service pack 2 or 3/ save! Then Rt click it again, create shortcut, cut the shortcut, paste b to desktop!.
All of your Main fs9 folder MUST be in C:\Flight Simulator 9, Not C:\MSFT Games \Flight Simulator 9
Otherwise we're just beating a dead horse AGAIN!

First, Thank you for taking the time!!
Having to stop and figure out where the files are and how to get and how to actually physically move and drag replace stuff into another file... ie;.... educate myself on how to actually work a computer lol and cringe.
YW,
Copy and pasting is the most basic thing you can do on a computer!
however: I"M GOING TO YELL! So You understand!
WHEN IN FILE EXPLORER, COPYING/CUTTING, OR PASTING IT'S EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY DRAG AN IMPORTANT FOLDER INTO ANOTHER(Especially with mouse pad laptop as opposed to a real mouse) If you don't know how to right click/ undo, you're computer can be royally screwed!
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 3rd Party BACKUP/ RESTORE PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER, OH WELL!!! Some just depend on the cloud to auto save pics, downloads etc., basic stuff...
OK, Since your Win 11 computer is New, Correct? Did it come from a reputable dealer with extra software etc? Regardless it's easy enough to set it back to factory if effed up!
My fathers computer Win 11 for example is just used for browsing, I keep his files that change on a thumb drive so I'm not worried about lost data, or backing it up, I can factory reset it, re-copy files/folders back to it.
That's all...

Question for you, will fs 2004 install directly into windows 7 ...without moving files or downloading anything ( I have found a computer for sale)
Thanks Aaron
I think you're missing the "Forest For The Trees"
Swobbie's 1st post is your answer and or Mine!!! Namely the updates put in the right place, fs9 folder, and creating the shortcut/ compatibility modes
Short answer is yes since you don't have any addons, as long as you're version is not a counterfeit, yes It happens, I bought my Win 7 pro Genuine C D from eBay, only to get a popup later from MSFT telling me it was stolen. I called them, showed them all my receipts and they updated me anyway!
Many used the same procedure going from Xp to 7 to 10 to 11
I had no problem fresh install to Win 7, but since I had SO many years of addon scenery and planes in XP, I used the same procedure going from Xp to 7 to 10.
In other words I cut my Main folder from old XP from C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9 And pasted it over my win 7 installation.
Going to Win 10 I had to use same procedure and cut C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9, and pasted it to C:\

And just to be up front with my computer skill outa 10 is a 1. My experience level is in 2006 I got fs 2004, installed it, then got feelthere Embraer 145, followed tutorial, installed. Disconnected computer from internet so it could never get infected and never used it for anything else.
Then compaq presario died. ( 8 yrs in moisture ridden storage unit killed it and computer repair place will not touch it because of mold and corrosion).

Rather than cut, copy all your Flightsim from C:\Microsoft games, and paste it to C:\

How'd you get CD Rom going?

I think it's all in szwoobbie's, The 1st post, Hmmm,, Ok uhhh...$200 Best Buy UGH!
Did you install the FS9 9.1 update in main FS9 folder?
Also the FS9 no CD crack
After Fs9 update to main FS9 folder, find the "NEW" fs9.exe in MSFT FS9 Main folder, right click/ compatibility/ pull down menu, click XP service pack 2 or 3, Try run as Administrator save. Then Right click it and create shortcut, cut it, paste to desktop.

First Create a restore Point!!!
2: try typing devmgmt.msc in run box or space at bottom left/then in device management top menu/ show hidden devices/ find Cd, update driver, from both choices, local and or windows update, roll back driver, if nothing delete CD driver, restart or top Menu / Action/ Scan for changes 1 should bring it back,.
I'm not a big Win 11 user, I have definitely had my CD drive do nothing on Win 10 when inserted, I've swapped it out etc., I "Usually" get it,
Also I dunno if FS9 2004 is compatible with Windows 11?
Press Windows + R keyboard shortcut to launch the Windows Run box, type

If you try editing registry CREATE BACKUP of registry, save to desktop! I personally wouldn't, I'd look, might, f with it, yea I would if all else failed!
