ColR1948 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 When I go in Control Panel\Programs I see what programs are installed, I also see some aircraft I've installed too. When I install them I always install to a folder on my desktop then edit out any unwanted stuff then transfer them to the FSX folder which is on a separate hard drive. Are these aircraft there because I first installed them to the folder I created on my desktop, and is it safe to uninstall them from the Programs folder seeing as they now reside on a separate hard drive (D) not ©?

tiger1962 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yes it's safe to uninstall them from Programs, since you've already done it manually in effect.

ColR1948 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks Tim, Thinking more on this, in future I will create a folder on the (D) drive then transfer it from there, I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Slight problem with that, I went to uninstall one aircraft and it defaulted to the AC in FSX on my D drive even though it is listed in the programs when I go in Control Panel\Programs.

tiger1962 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Can you manually edit the unwanted file's location in the "Uninstall from:" window? Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's not needed to rid of your programs directory from the install programs. But you can use Ccleaner and delete the entry. I have a felling that the program installer is reading your registry key, and if so I wouldn't touch it otherwise you're gonna have problems. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

ColR1948 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi CRJ, Yes that's kind of what I thought, I haven't touched it, I was just trying to clean up a bit and saw these entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 And to keep it real simple....don't delete any aircraft from Control Panel/Programs that you currently have in your Sim and still want to use. I go through mine every so often and delete aircraft that I have installed and then deleted from the Sim. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

napamule2 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have FSX on my D drive. No 'Program Files\FSX' folder on C drive either (bad bad bad!). What I do is make a folder (called 'X_Temp For Installs') under the main FSX folder. I extract all ziped files from download there. Then I fix, change, etc, and then move files (folders) to FSX\Simobjects\XXX folder. I might have some files under 'My Documents\Flt Sim Realted' folders (info, fsx cfg changes, sound, panels, etc) for archive and safe keeping in case my D drive goes. Keep it simple.
