Soon after installing FSX, downloaded and installed SP1 - the weather thing - then attempted to install SP2.

I'd say your best bet is activating FSX again. you dont have to reinstall you can just go into the main FSX folder and run the activation guide on your own... But I may be wrong.

After some googling, found out this was a common problem and got a fix.

This seems to cover it. http://www.microsoft.com/Products/Games/FSInsider/tips/Pages/FSXSP2-BogusErrorMessageonSetup.aspx

It might be safer to uninstall FSX & start again.

That's the registry fix that got me over the first (English language version) hurdle.
