I have FSX steam and boxed, I only use steam edition, but when I try to install GSX, it says steam is not detected, but the FSDT KLAX installer detects steam, here is an image.
-
That's because you have a problem with your Steam registry keys. You can activate logging in the installer, to see what’s wrong in your system.
- 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, after you close it. If you have it, then send it to me.

Judging by the lines after "setup will continue" I just remade the fsx folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X) and copied and pasted FSX.exe from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX" there. It works for me.
-
Yes, your log explains the problem: you still have you FSX registry key pointing to an empty folder, most likely because you manually removed FSX without uninstalling it, so FSX:SE was still running in "Dual mode", but with no FSX anymore.
Never, ever, remove an app manually. Always run the Uninstaller...
-
I reinstalled both boxed and steam and the GSX installer still cannot find FSX steam. But when I install other airports (Hawaiian Airports Volume 1), it's able to find steam and install perfectly.
-
Please try to download the current GSX full installer now, we made a small update to the installer that should be able to deal with it.
-
It works now, thank you!
