I HAD it running.......

Francois, good luck. Fine, but they also EACH have their own, individual registry entry!!! I'm about half way thru deleting them from the registry, one at a time. NONE of the registry cleaners, freeware or payware work!

Hi Don,

yes I stumbled on the failing uninstall and the many registry entries as well. Started to delete them manually too... until I discovered how many there are....
Not sure IF I have to remove them all, but it sure as heck is not 'neat' to leave them all in there

Mind you, the FSX uninstaller isn't perfect either...... nor are my own. So who am I to tell anybody.....

3 days and $119 down the road...... I'll take a break for now !

Francois,

I found out last night after I posted that you do not have to remove them all. I did a couple more, then tried to install again. It worked!! I don't know which item the installer was looking for, but it was one of the last ones I did. I was using the search/find next system and would delete each key as it was found. Sometimes I would start from the top, sometimes from the bottom, so I have no idea which, but it was in the middle, somewhere. And, it was definitely a scenery item, but who knows which. I actually wanted to get the error one more time so I could take a screen shot to help remember it, but even that went wrong!!

Anyway, 1.4 is now installed, and I am doing a defrag, before firing it up to see if it works. If it does, I'll order V2 soon.

Good luck on your installation.
