Hi Bernardo.
Insert FSX Disc 1 and when it gives you the option, run "Repair". You will then need to Do a repair of Acceleration when the FSX is finished. Once you have finished those two "repairs", run the 727 installer and select "Repair" from the options once it asks. That should get it all back. Read the next part before trying this!
If you originally installed it in its default location and then MOVED IT, this could be a problem because it will just do a complete reinstall in the default location again. If this is the case, use one of these FSX registry repair tools: Flight1 - FS_Registry_Repair.exe OR Captain Sim - fsx_path_fix. It will help point FSX to the correct location of where FSX is installed and not where it was originally installed. This should be done before running the FSX, Acceleration and CS 727 repairs.
To find out where your FSX is installed on your computer, open the Run command (Windows Key + R) and type regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0 for Windows 32bit or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0 for Windows 64bit. Look at the line that says SetupPath for where your FSX is thought to be installed. See attached image.
Hope this helps.
