Hi,

I recently installed a fresh copy of Flight Simulator X on windows xp. But when I double-click on the setup, Flight Simulator X icon it gives me the error that Flight Simulator X Setup encountered an error while reading the file. I have installed it from a cd. I think some files may be missing, what you say ???

Before you install the Flight Simulator X from cd or your playing from the cd itself, clean the CD or DVD. For this, use a disc cleaning kit. Now, gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft cotton cloth free. Do not use paper cloth which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When cleaning the disc, wipe from the center of the disk outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly before you insert the disk into the drive.

Try to Install Flight Simulator X from another CD or DVD. The CD may not be able to read the product CD. Try installing the program on a CD or DVD than the same or another computer. To do this, follow these steps: Insert the CD into the CD or DVD from another computer, or a second CD drive or DVD of the original team. The installation program should start. Click Install. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the program.
