Project Airbus – Talk

Hello everyone,

I hope that someone would help for me.

I deleted my FSX directly from program files. And When I wanted to install it again I had a problem. I have been searching a solution for hours. Tried to do a lot of variants but no luck... I deleted all folders, deleted all registry keys for FSX. Then I had another problem. I had a error 1610... It says that my product ir corrupted... And installer turns off...

P.S. I'm using LEGAL version of FSX.. I have my product key in my discs box...

First things first: How on earth did you do that?!

On to business: What OS? Is it x64? What FSX version? Acceleration?

Ok.

I did that because on my disk C was not enough space left. So, I wanted to reinstall it to disk D.

Then I went to control panel/ install-unistall program and then I saw FSX SP2. Then I uninstalled it but after that, in program files folder Microsoft games was still there. Then I went to control panel/install-uninstall program and there wasn't FSX... After that I deleted FSX directly from program files. Then I tried to Install FSX but I had error code 1610.. It says that my product is corrupted...

I'm using Win7 x32. FSX SP2..

I hope that You will understand something... Because my english isn't good to explain things like this..

Google for an utility called Windows Installer Clean Up - with this tool you should be able to remove the installation informations of FSX, and this should fix the installer problem.

Yes, but be careful. That utility apparently had some issues...

So the next step is to turn OFF UAC. That way there is no issue with permission conflict. Then, when you try to install again, install in a nonstandard directory like C:\FSX\Microsoft Flight Simulator X (or D:\... since you wanted to install on drive D).

I have already tried it... I have tried about 5-8 variants... But no luck... -__-

Well, my advice is to reinstall the OS. I have found it to be quite refreshing in more ways than one. If it is an OEM system though...well not much that can be done as far as I know.

I would recommend making the jump to Windows 7 X64 if you are in that kind of a situation. Personally, I dislike Windows 8...but that is all up to you.

OMG!!! I fixed it!!! I downloaded "Fix It" program from Microsoft... And it fixed my problem... I'm so happy!!!
