Windows 10: Install FSX Gold Edition on Windows 10 Pro

Hi all,

I would like some support for installing my FSX Gold edition 2006.

What other support programme do I need to make it work?

:)

 

1628 failed to complete installation FSX Gold Edition Windows 10 Pro 64bit

I am having problems using/reinstalling FSX Gold Edition. FSX used to work without problems on Wndows 7 Pro 64bit, but I have recently done the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro 64bit and ran the FSX game. It worked ok until I opened another window within
FSX (maps, configuration settings, select aircraft, etc. etc.) then the whole screen went black and had to close the FSX program from the task manager.

I eventually decided to uninstall the FSX game to do a fresh install. I ran the setup.exe program from the CD as
administrator but I get this message each time....



I then tried to do a clean boot by going into the services (via msconfig) and disabling the services and restarting the computer.

The tried again the install FSX but the same message appears as above. Now I cannot even install the game!!

Has anyone got any suggestions?

I know that a similar posting has been placed on this community site but as yet I have not received any replies.

 

FSX Gold Edition with Windows 10

I already posted a question on this subject but I did not add enough information in my initial post. Several years ago I bought the newest edition of Flight Simulator X which was the Gold Edition. When I bought the game I was running Winows 8 which I upgraded
to 8.1 and I recall the game working fine.

The end of July I upgraded to Windows 10. Several days ago I decided to play the simulator and when I attempted to run it I immediately got an error message telling me I was running the wrong version of DirectX and I needed to download and install DirectX
9 for the game to work. With Windows 10 I am running DirectX 11.5. I fear that downloading and installing DirectX 9 will cause problems and I am hesitant to even attempt it.

I did some research regarding FSX Gold Edition compatibility with Windows 10. According to my research FSX Gold Edition will work with Windows 10 but only provide I had not also installed the acceleration option (which I had done). I figured maybe I could
reinstall the game and leave out the acceleration option. Guess not. I load the first CD and the drive does nothing but continue to run full blast. I do not get any of the installation screens. I tried opening the CD and selected setup.exe and did get a screen
asking me if I wanted to install the game. I selected this option and got a dark screen with a small windo indication applications were being deleted (??) and got 4 or 5 bars indicating something was happening but never got any farther. The DC drive just continued
spinning like it was going to launch out of the computer.

I'm guessing FSX Gold Edition does not play well with Windows 10. Has anyone else had a situation similar to this and if so did you get anything to work and if so, how?
