FS9 & FSX - The files needed for the installation couldn't be located. - (February 07)

You need to have the whole Flight Simulator files on the same folder as stated on the windows registry key:

..:: Flight Simulator 9 ::..

Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0
Sub-Key:
EXE Path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9

..:: Flight Simulator X ::..

Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0
Sub-Key:
SetupPath C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X\

The setup needs essential files in order to successfully install, so if for any reason you changed the location manually or renamed the flight simulator folder, you need to update this key within windows registry.

..:: How to fix the windows registry ::..

You need to download the file that matches your flight simulator version and extract the contents of the zip file to a temporary folder, for example to desktop, once you have the contents extracted, you need to open de KEY file with a text editor, for instance NOTEPAD, and modify the content to match the correct path to your Flight Simulator folder, once you achieve this, you then proceed to save the file and close.

After you save the modifications double click on the KEY file and accept the insertion of a new key to the registry.

If everything works as it should you are now ready to install.
If for any reason you get the same error message, please download again the installer as indicated above.
