Both worked for me.  Are you installing them in "C:/....fsx/simobjects", or are you installing them in "C:/....FSX/simobjects/airplanes"?

Are you running FSX Acceleration if Vista or Win7? Does this happen when you try selecting an option from the in-game menu? If so, there's a "FSX crash to desktop" fix. I don't have a link handy, but you should be able to enter that as a searh in Google and find it.

If, on the other hand, FSX is crashing while flying and not accessing the menu, there could be other issues.  What are your system specs?
