• Failed to install Microsoft Flight Simulator. Will not pass the installation wizard.

  Failed to install Microsoft Flight Simulator, Version Deluxe 2010. I am running Windows 7 Ult 64 bit. The program will not install, it's an error that it cannot find the file. I tried everything, but it does not install. This is the full version of three discs.

  Following up on this question. I have install and it will go through the wizard of the insulation. Then, it will come with a large screen. He stays there and then says after 15 minutes. «Unable to launch vcredist_ * 86.exe.» I press ok and a error number "the system cannot find the path specified in 3. Press ok and then it states that the system has not changed except for... »

  I am convinced that Flight simulator is not intended to be run on a 64-bit computer that is very disappointing. I have a program which should install without all the aggravation I had to endure. If you run them 64-bit machines do not buy this product. I tried since it first came out. I feel at the moment where I get it going it will be a version dated date out. Wait until there is a version dedicated 64-bit, you will save yourself a lot of grief. I have an Asus dual core Centrino 2, 2.6 GB h. computer laptop with 4 GB memory. I install my DVD direct program. It worked when the computer is a 32-bit computer.

  What finally worked for me when I tried to install MSFSX Gold Edition has been that I copied the disc 1 FS to my office.  Then I copied the contents of the FS 2 disc and put the files in the same folder.  When're asked you if you want to replace the files with the same name on both drives say no.  It seemed to work well for me when nothing else did.

  I haven't read of anyone doing this exactly, it's my own invention/workaround bit AFAIK. Hope this works for all of you who cannot make it work otherwise.

  System:
  ASUS G50v-t
  Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino 2, 2.26 GHz
  NVIDIA GeForce 9800 m GS 512 MB

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 vs Windows 7 compatibility

  I installed MS Flight Simulator in Windows 7. The installation went well.
  And I could start MS Flight Simulator until the home page appeared.
  BUT: during the opening of "videoparts' (i.e. the statement at the beginning, the parts of MS FS with moving images) the program closed and a message says:
  "There was a problem. The program does much more. The program will be closed. »
  I tried to find out if something went wrong with the compatibility. But everyhting seems fine.
  I hope someone can help me with my favorite game show.

  All I can think now is to update your video drivers.

  If it still does not work, unfortunately it is something wrong with your computer because it says here that FS2004 is fully compatible with Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit):

• Microsoft Flight Simulator: Gold Edition Windows 8 compatibility

  I recently bought a new desktop PC Windows 8. Before buying this, I called the Microsoft customer service (which was a horrible experience overall) and they confirmed that my version of FSX IS compatible. Then, I bought the PC and loaded the game on my computer. The game was running, so I decided to change the air traffic at high. Within 2 seconds, the game crashed. That is to say the frequency of horrific images on FSX for Windows 8. I then tried to open the game and this note came: error ID = 25null Just to indicate, the 2nd time I bought FSX; the first copy I bought for my old computer on Windows Vista. The memory card and the graphics have been destroyed because of the game. (I do not understand how it is possible to make it work on Windows XP.) The 2nd for my new computer Windows 8. Then, once more I am my way through to the right person customer support, and he said that my version of FSX is not compatible with Windows 8. Then... I really need a clear answer... Thank you!

  Evan,

  Go to C:\Program files\Microsoft Games, flight Simulator X, find the FSX file. EXE and right click on it. And select send to - desktop (create shortcut).

  Try to open the file. If it fails with the same error, then right-click on it and click Properties.

  Place a check on "run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 7 or earlier versions.

  Let us know the results.

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I try to install MFS 2004.  The first 3 discs work fine, but when I insert disk 4 to complete the installation, I get the following error message:

  "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using.  Check your computer's system information to see if yo need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »

  What can I do?

  Hello
  
  1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
   
   
  Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
  The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Flight%20Simulator%202004%3A%20A%20Century%20of%20Flight&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=1&pi=3&c=PC%20Gaming&sc=Simulation%20%26%20Driving&os=64-bit
   
   
  Method 1.
  We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
  If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
  Method 2.
  If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 required administrator rights

  I have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (I know, I know) and when I try to run it from a limited account, I get an error stating that I have administrator privileges. Is it possible to replace that or enter my password once? I don't need my children asking me my password every time they want to play. It doesn't seem like it does all what changes the computer, why can't it be used in a user account only limited?

  Specifications of the computer:

  • HP (not sure of the exact model number)
  • Windows XP SP3 (fully updated)
  • AMD Athlon X 2 Dual Core 4400 + @2.19 Ghz
  • 1 GB OF RAM
  • Graphic ATI Express 200 Radon

  I don't mind enter my password once to grant access, I'm not only you have to enter it every time my kids want to play. Thank you for your help.

  This is normal.

  As a work around, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the shortcut or the name of the program file.
  2. Click Advanced, click run with different credentials, and then click OK.
  3. Start the program.
  4. When you are prompted, type an administrator user ID and password.

• I installed a flight simulator which caused my screen to zoom in and I can restore to the original... any thoughts?

  This occurred after that I installed a microsoft Flight Simulator (2004 version)

  Hello

  There are a few things you can try:

  Change the resolution of the screen;

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  Then try to change the screen resolution.

  Or do a system restore to before that happened.
