Solved: FSX sp2

Starlite · 12-16-2008

I am unable to load fs2 to FSX. The installer starts then I finish up with the following notice."MS Flight Sim X Service Pack 2.Set up ended before completeing installation.Your system has not been modified.To install the program at a later time please run set up again."
I used fs tweak to determine that the registry had the correct installation address. I do have the sp1 installed.Can you advise me where the problem is please.
Thanks Alan

I'd, first, suggest some serious housekeeping as in:

Download-

CCleaner from CCleaner - Download
Then install.
I suggest when asked untick all the options apart from the top one

CCleaner:

Under the Cleaner section: select “Run Cleaner”

Under the Registry section: select “Scan for Issues”

(when asked about registry “Backup” save & then accept where it saves it to.)

then “Fix Selected Issues”

Do the Registry option again..(and again until no issues found)

Try your install again & report back.
