Windows 10: FSX Not Installing On Windows 10

Hello Microsoft Community,


I am attempting to install Flight Simulator X from a disc and during the installation, an error message appears. That error message is “Error 1603: Fatal error during installation.”.


I was able to install FSX on the same machine when it was running Windows 8.1 before but I do not remember what I did to get FSX installed. I had to factory reset the computer due to a different issue and I upgraded the computer to Windows 10 and I am still experiencing the same issue.

My father has flight plan data on FSX from as early as 2005, I believe, so I am wondering if there is a solution to this issue so I can notate the flight information and me and him can play the game.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

:)

 

fsx Installation on windows 10

Having same problem. FSX. Win10. Had to reinstall Windows. Now when attempting to reinstall FSX, I insert FSX DVD #1 and get Microsoft Flight Simulator X installshield wizard...Removing Applications. It asks for disc #2 and then after a few minutes I get:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X Error.

Error 1722. There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact support personnel.

Then:

Consult Windows Installer Help.

Have tried multiple times. Unable to uninstall the non running FSX in order to do a fresh install... I followed the steps listed above and it did not solve the problem.

FSX Acceleration - Windows 10

Hi,

I have been running FSX Gold +Acceleration for some time but after the Anniversary update of Windows 10 I get the usual activation errors.

Initially I uninstalled and reinstalled FSX Gold, this registered OK and ran with Multiplayer Mode listed as an option.

Then I installed Acceleration and the troubles began. Initially the 1-80004005 error and ran KB928080 as well as others listed by Microsoft as a 'fix' for FSX Acceleration registration.

I then restarted the PC but the error changed to 8-c0000006, which persists.

Uninstalling Acceleration removes this error but Direct X10 and other features of FSX are missing.

Yes, I did the Registry 'fix' of partmgr to PartMgr but nothing changed.

Some suggestion are to create a new user account but I would prefer not to do this.

Are there any alternate suggestions that might help?

FSX-Gold +Acceleration did work on the PC previously.

Regards, KH
