Bummer!!!!!!!
Could you post the exact terms (words) that you see in the message window.

MS flight sim 2004 encountered a disk error while writing to the file c:\ program\....FS9\dwintl.dll. Make sure your hard disk is not full, and the file is not in use

this is what it says the file is mostly different though.

Here are a few of MS's ways to clear up your problem try them and let us know what happens.
There are quite a few people here that are better than me and are willing to help.

Even though this is for another sim it sounds reasonable to think that It could apply to you. I would also go into "search" "files & folders" and run "flight" and see if there is any left over junk from a prior installation.

Good luck bud ❗

I was thinking (yes it hurts 😳 ), did you (if you have Windows-XP-Home) install SP1, if not that could be the problem.
