For starters the only version of
FSX that will install on Windows 10 is
FSX GOLD which has Acceleration as well. This is what you want to do
Install
FSX any where EXCEPT in the default location as that can give you problems. Now I know that there are people that have it installed in the default location and have no problems but doing that involves turning down your permissions which I prefer not to do.
Once you have
FSX installed you need to run it at least once before proceeding
After running
FSX install ACCELERATION any place except the default location
Here is where the trouble could start
after ACCELERATION INSTALLS IT SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO REGISTER IT
If it does not you have to edit the registry in order to get it to allow you to register it
below is the procedure you will need if ACCELERATION will not register
1. run regedit (Windowskey +R)
2. Expand the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTRO L\CLASS\{4D36E967-
E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.
4. Change the value from 0 to PartMgr and/or remove any other settings and then click OK.
5. Close Registry Editor
6. Start
FSX/Accel and you should get the registration wizard.
do not be surprised if you find PARTMGR already there but notice the upper and lower case letters it has to be PartMgr
when I did this I got an error saying that there can be no spaces behind PartMgr. I ignored this because I had not put any spaces. Which makes me think that was the problem to start with spaces after PartMgr
after closing the editor I fired up
FSX and the
activation screen popped right up .
