Upgrading from FSX to FSX Deluxe on Win10

Hello all,

 

Apologies if this has been covered, but a search found nothing on topic.

 

I am running FSX on a Win10 machine happily. I bought a disc copy of Deluxe (mainly for the G1000), and set about installing it on my machine. The installer said 'this will update FSX', which I thought was good since it shouldn't interfere with my current config.

 

It then bounced with 'the current version of FSX is newer than the install'. I cannot continue, nor does it give me the option to run a fresh install. I'm assuming this is because I'm running SP2.

 

Has anyone encountered this before, and is there a workaround? Rolling back the Service Packs seems not to be an option, so unless there's a funky registry hack out there, I think I may have to uninstall FSX and install clean.

 

Thanks in advance :)

Welcome to the forums. It won't be possible to do the update. Yes, go ahead with the uninstall. The registry could possibly be updated/hacked but it's not worth the effort since the uninstall/reinstall is so simple. Besides, a fresh start is usually always a good thing as opposed to an update..........Doug Edited September 13, 2020 by W2DR
