Maybe you should read what the message is actually saying, and install it?

The installer checks the Windows registry keys for FSX for the actual installed location, and then check the FSX.EXE executable in that location for its version, I don't think the demo install in the same folder as FSX and uses the same registry keys, that would be the only possible reason for the installer being confused, but you might try uninstalling the demo.

If you still see that message, it means your FSX registry keys are wrong, missing or pointing in the wrong folder. In this case, you should use some free FSX registry fix tools (there's one available from Flight1) to repair it.

Post by: Dave_YVR on March 16, 2013, 03:56:03 am: I'd try running the installer again for Acceleration to make sure it's installed. Then run FSX, load a flight so that you are in game then shut it down and try the FSDT install again.

I don't understand you.

As I've said, the installer checks the Windows registry keys for FSX for the actual installed location, and then check the FSX.EXE executable in that location for its version, I don't think the demo install in the same folder as FSX and uses the same registry keys, that would be the only possible reason for the installer being confused, but you might try uninstalling the demo.

Title: Re: FSdreamteam installer problems
Post by: virtuali on April 12, 2013, 01:39:31 pm: There's no other way to install, other than having your FSX registry keys correct, which is what a normal situation is. If you can't do it with the freely available registry fixing tools, you can try an FSX repair.
