Hi all,

When I try to install FS2002 for the 1st time on my MSi Windows10 laptop from the downloaded 3-cd version (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 (USA) (Professional Edition) using setup.exe I get this message after accepting installing using the normal path (C:\Program Files (x86) etc. etc.)

"could not verify installation media"

and after that I can only cancel the installation.

Suggestions welcome,

hertzie.

Dont install using the normal path!! Use C:\FS2002 or something similar.
Run the exe or setup in compatibility mode. Maybe as Administrator as well.

Having read the small print on FS2002 requirements, which gives it compatibility for Windows 98, 2000 & Windows XP.
So I doubt very much if you can get FS2002 running in Windows 10 without additional emulating software.

Because Windows 10 does not recognize older Discs using SafeDisc DRM. It's the same issue with those trying to Install FS9 on a WI10/11 computer.

Check at the 'other' FS Sites for Tips on how to Install FS2002/2004 in Windows 10.
