Greetings All.
I have a problem with re installing fsx. i get an error message that reads as follows.
"Error 1612
The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
The recommended fix is, Microsoft which advises that you download and run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and then retry the install process.
I have done the recommended process but the installer list only refers to office and no reference to fsx.
i have de fragged,installed registry software, tried it all but i still get the same message and cant install fsx again.
Can anyone please help, it driving me bonkers and i cant fly...

Hey fella,

Click start > RUN > then type in box regedit then press enter.

On the left hand side there is registry folders click to highlight one and locate the edit tab on the top of the programs box, then click on FIND and then type in Flight Simulator X or just Flight Simulator, if it does find any delete the registry entry and do this for every registry folder. reboot your pc and try installing FS X again. if not i dunno.

Or try downloading CCleaner some cool things it does!
