Don't know if this is the best thread to respond to, or if I should start a new one. I'm not that old but I'm afraid I'm completely bamboozled by all the jargon.
Because of this I've tried downloading from Simviation, but there's always some incomprehensible reason why things still don't work, whichever way I turn. I thought I'd sussed it when, after unzipping, a window appeared which, among other icons, contained one that was called "Installer Package". But every time I clicked on one of those, it said the installation wouldn't work because the Air File was damaged. Simviation told me to erase Adobe Air, which I did. I was warned doing so would affect my iPlayer, but I'm pleased to report it didn't. But I'm still stumped. I no longer get the Installer Package icon at all, and everything else just asks me what program was used to create it, or words to that effect. I need step-by-step advice with an approach which, to be on the safe side, presumes no prior knowledge. Ok, I know OF folders, but that's about as far as I go. Most of the posts I've read make no sense to me, I'm a real duffer.
Any help would be so much appreciated, and maybe there are others equally clueless but are more embarrassed to ask than I am.
Hi there. Please try following this tute first.

Being fed-up with the slowness of FSX on my system (XP) and not being able to get FS2004 working (it failed, but I can't re-install it from either the old cds or a new set due to something called FSUIPC incompatibility) .
I can't think why you should be having problems installing FS2004. FSUIPC is a completely separate 3rd party application which can be installed
after successfully installing FS.
I have re-installed FS2000 and it works fine on its own, provided I don't re-install any of the hard-copy add-ons I bought for it when new; these either make it crash at the Concorde screen, or nothing shows up in the Aircraft menu
It's a very long time since I had anything to do with FS2000. Have you installed the official patch? Make sure you get the right one.
