Thanks for that JK, yes tried that as well, for me there was no fsx folders at all as I had already removed them and the rest were on the now crapped out hdd. Did go ahead and remove those reg entries, rebooted and just got the same thing again.
I'm slowly getting to the point of saying "sod it" and just format my C drive with 64 bit 7 then reinstalling everything from scratch, still searching for any other answer for another day or so. Tried every utility out there to no avail, as I said before I just don't know what file or "something" it's seeing to think there is a sim installed.
 
CRACKED IT !!!!!!!!!

I had read about the installshield installation folder, I was in there two days ago and removed 3 files leaving two. In the remaining two folders
were set up files but seemed nothing to do with FSX. Reading an old newsgroup this morning someone actually posted the name of the file
which is FSX, in case anyone comes across this issue, remove this folder 9527A496-5DF9-412A-ADC7-168BA5379CA

I'm happy to see I'm now installing FSX, luckily I had my fsx.cfg file and many others backed up. Thanks for all the help and input.
