Acceleration trivia

[JJFranco]

Ok you whizes! I have a good question here.  Just bought Acceleration and when I put the disk in it says I need FSX to install this, well guess what, I HAVE FSX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it is not a COPY!!! @$%&@%#%&

Ok now that I have calmed down, can anyone tell me what may be going wrong?

[Keep It Simple]

The first thing that comes to mind is perhaps your registry entries that points to your FSX install is missing/corrupted?

If so,

Nope I found the answer AFTER HOURS OF PAINFULL HOLDING ON SOFTWARE SUPPORT!!!  Some people, for some stupid reason that microsoft cannot explain yet, have to uninstall FSX, re-install it and THEN install Acceleration... WONDERFUL!! :-?
