Title: Install in P3D and FSX:Steam
Post by: VHHHflyer on September 24, 2015, 12:32:20 am: Hi,

I have had P3D V2 for a while on my PC and i recently bought FSX:Steam. I want to install GSX in FSX but the installer when launched indicates that P3D is installed and if i want to install it there. There is no option for FSX. I already have GSX installed in P3D.

Then you simply must reply NO to the question if you want to install into P3D.

That's probably because you use the P3D Migration tool, so your FSX registry keys are pointing to the P3D folder. When you install a P3D-compliant product, the Migration Tool must be disabled.

Then your FSX registry key is missing. If you reply No to the question about installing into P3D, the installer will try the FSX:Steam folder and, if it's missing, it will try the FSX registry key (which can be used by FSX:SE too, so it will look for it in that folder too). But we can be sure of this, by logging the installer, this way:

- Open a command prompt ( start -> CMD -> enter )

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

CD c:\Users\Yourname\Desktop

Assuming you put the installer on the Desktop

- launch the installer with this command:

gsx_fsx_setup.exe /log=install.log

This should hopefully create a file named install.log on your Desktop. If you have it, then send it to me ( via Email, please ).

Post by: virtuali on September 25, 2015, 11:29:42 am: As I already replied to you by email, the installer hasn't created a log file, because you (according to the screenshot you sent), you mis-typed the line.
