alfredobercero Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi, I've uninstall FSX (boxed ed.) and installed a clean copy of FSX-Steam Ed. Recently I've purchase Global base. I've downloaded it without problems (checked file lenght and MD5 signature, both are correct). After unzipping , I start installation (as admin) and just after I try FSX version to install this error appears(see attached image) Any ideas? Thanks, Alfredo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This is a well reported instance of where the boxed edition has been uninstalled and the SE installed. You will need to repair your registry for our installer to work by using repair utility such as the one found at the bottom of our Freeware page.

alfredobercero Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks a lot Ed! I'll try it tonight and will confirm if it works. Alfredo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredobercero Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Solved! You've directed me in the right direction. That concrete registry fixer doesn't solved the problem nor the F1 one either, but I find another called "FSX Registry Utility" that write the 2 keys needed at the registry. The 2 keys were: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0\ Both were void and it's mandatory to fill them with the path to the FSX base folder. Finally I have the FTX Global Base installing! Cheers, Alfredo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan NAPPER Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ed, I Have the same problem. The Registry Fix Tool did not solve the problem. Nor did WINZIP Registry Optimiser which I purchased. Alfredo, I do not understand your fix with "FSX Registry Utility". Are you able to give more information about those 2 keys - for example what the keys should contain. A screen shot of your registry entries would probably help. Cheers, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Perhaps if you read this topic it will help http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/89673-temporary-workaround-for-installing-orbx-scenery-with-fsxse/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan NAPPER Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks Nick, The link you provided gave some guidance and I now get past the above error, BUT now have a problem with \Effects folder. I have noticed some posts on that subject and will investigate further. So far FSX-SE has been a grind, and not just with ORBX products. I could give in and revert back to FSX Boxed, but hey! why give up on a good challenge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks once again.
