I only ever got one thing that wasn't what I thought it was. When buying from eBay, I look for good reputations (99.5%+) from sellers of a large quantity (1000+) of goods. (If you want to back up the Registry first, then go into the File tab in the Reg Editor, then to Export. Buying from eBay, or the likes, you run the risk of getting non-genuine article. Close FSX and run Registry Editor (press Windows key + R and type regedit and Ok). You should be able top trust the more respected sales stores (Amazon, PC Aviator, FSPilotShop, TheFlightSimStore, etc.) for purchasing an original copy. I only trust in the products sold by Microsoft store, e.g. Where did you buy it? In other words, are you sure your new FSX Gold Edition is an original (authentic) one? I ask because there is a lot of fake FSX Gold Edition to sell online.
FSX ACCELERATION PACKAGE INSTALL
The first two disks install FSX the third is supposed to install the Expansion Pack I have no F-18 in my aircraft inventory. Flight Simulator X: Acceleration is the action-filled expansion pack for the award-winning Flight Simulator X video game. The Accelerated Expansion Pack disk is the 3rd of 3 disks of the Microsoft FSX Gold Edition which I purchased.
XLoad needs the Expansion Pack installed to operate properly, I would love to hear from Captain Sim if he has some sort of FSX Expansion Pack download that will work, or some other workaround!! I realize this is an older program that I am trying to install on an older computer that operates on a newer operating system - Windows 7.
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Any suggestions? Is there an FSX Expansion Pack that will install on my computer? HELP!!!
I have used the Microsoft FixIts to try to resolve it - nothing works. I get this installation message that flashes, goes away and then nothing. I have done everything, clean-boots, compatibility runs, you name it - it just won't install. I cannot get my FSX Acceleration Expansion Pack installed on my Windows 7 32bit computer! FSX goes on fine but not X Pack.
