Ferike Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi, I have an old FSX Gold legally (Box & Key) + aacceleration Disc. I tried to install FSX to my new laptop WIN 10/64 recently after not using FSX for years. The program was running for a short while but afterwords (when i made a shirtcut to the desktop) kollapsed. If I try to reinstall, the Windows installer respond: "1628: Failed to complete installation". When I try to install from a HDD copy : the same, if I try to go through setup: no enogh mempry space on the disc or HDD. For any help I would be very greatful ...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 And, when you DO install, then do not - I repeat, DO NOT - install to the default location in C:\Program Files (x86), but to someplace like C:\FSX instead. This is really important! Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEPPER321 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Perhaps consider installing FSX-Steam - it avoids the hassles of the discs, plus some of the inherent problems that go with the original FSX. And it's pretty cheap to buy right now, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You can Google that... but remember, if you install Steam, the same caveat applies - do not install to the default path in C:\Program Files (x86). Windows 10 has a nasty habit of preventing you from modifying files in that path - install to C:\FSX or something like that instead.

Downwind66 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 https://store.steampowered.com/app/314160/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_X_Steam_Edition/ Yeah, Jim, I wonder what it is going for nowadays? I got mine while it was $8.47, downloaded it, and then wanted to go back to what I was used to, so I have it waiting on me! Well worth $8.47!!
