Then it's possible the registry with a problem is not the FSDT one, but the simulator one. Try Live Update again, and see if you see a different message now.

I think I know what the problem is... I attached the screenshot, but it's clear that there are some leftover registry entries from P3Dv1/2/3... Can't the updater just ignore it if it's invalid?

I'm going to try removing them and see if that works. BTW, where is the updater reading the reg keys from? HKLM or HKCU?

The updated updater is supposed to do exactly that: consider the simulator with orphaned keys to be not installed. Have you tried just pressing OK to go ahead ?

Pressing OK works. I removed the following reg keys anyways since I don't need them anymore. Thanks Umberto! The issue seems to have been resolved.

I had two entries of a "dummy" FSX in my Registry to install some FSX Airports into P3D. ;)

I removed them and now it works.


Thanks for your help!

It seems you are not using the latest Live Update which has fixed this.

Thank you for this quick response. I think I use the latest version of "Live Update". she settled at the same time as GSX. (version of exe 2.6.0.0 Download 01/07/2019)

live update version: 4.5.0.17 (Couatl_updater.exe)
live update version: 1; 0.0.0 (Couatl_updater2.exe)

JFFKV2 (download from 01/07/2019) same error at the end of the installation when launching live update
the registry key Root is good

Los Angeles V2 (download 01/07/2019) same error during the download during the launch of live update.
