Im having trouble with this procedure so I will show you the steps Im taking in pictures

1. open cmd
2. go to folder where GSX installer is and open folder
3 I paste into cmd your instruction "gsx_fsx_setup.exe /log=install.log" and press enter
4 I get the message " is not recognized"

Your mistake is that you placed the installer in a folder that seems to be named "New folder" (can't say from your screenshot where's located), but you tried to launch it from the C:\Users\Zoran.

As I've said, you haven't followed my instructions carefully. If you had, you would have seen I suggested to place the installer on your Desktop, CD with the command line to go there, and launched it from there.

This is my last attempt to fix this via CMD here before I move on and get CMD instructions  elsewhere

The best I could do in CMD was this (see pic below second line from the bottom)

This launched GSX but there was no log file

This launched GSX but there was no log file

Since you launched the installer from the C:\Users\Zoran folder, the log file is likely there. This because you skipped this step in my instructions:

- go to the folder where you have the installer, for example:

CD c:\Users\Yourname\Desktop

Which, of course, in your case the command should have been:

CD c:\Users\Zoran\Desktop

However, even as you did it, it would probably work, just the log is likely in your user folder instead of the Desktop.

OMG I did it ? lol

Your problem is caused by the fact the registry key for FSX:SE is the one used when both FSX and FSX:SE are installed together, but there's no FSX installed.

More precisely, the FSX registry key points to the FSX:SE installation, but in this case, you shouldn't have the FSX:SE registry key, because the FSX:SE registry key should be there ONLY if you have BOTH versions installer.

A correct registry for FSX:SE installed stand-alone is the *FSX* registry key pointing to the FSX:SE folder, and NO FSX:SE registry key or, more precisely, no "AppPath" sub-key in it, which I think it must have been wrongly added by some addon product.

Removing the AppPath key from the FSX:SE registry key located here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0

should be enough to complete the installation. Pay attention to remove it from THIS key, not the FSX one!! (  Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 )

Thanks a lot, that worked!
