Dear Markoz

The answers to your questions are in bold and red.

I hope you only had one Captain Sim product installed. Your whole Captain Sim folder is deleted. Anyway ....

Yes, I just had a Captain Sim.

Did you try an offline activation?

Yes I tried this option three times.

Try doing these to if enquiry.c That gets it working:
1) Turn off your Antivirus software while you install it. They can sometimes interfere because the activation needs to add the entry into the registry. I use Avast, and sometimes it blocks the installation, so I deactivate the "shields" for 10 minutes When Installing FSX addons.

I had not disabled my AVG. I'll turn it off like you said.

2) Turn off the UAC (User Account Control) because it is quite Restrictive Especially C: \ Program Files or C: \ Program Files (x86). It is highly recommended That You DO NOT install FSX in the default location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. Should you install it in the root C: drive (C: \ FSX) or on a separate drive or partition.

I had done this earlier.

3) Run FSX using the "Run as administrator" option.

All my attempts were as Administrator.
I'll test option 1 from his questioning and let's see if it works!

Regards

Artur Martini
