Hi FJCan,
Great news! I'm glad that worked for you.
No need to continue with the RegCleaner; "If it's not broken, don't fix it" ;-)

| Jimmy S ... Your a genius!

| this as I am building the actual plane that is also on the simulator and was
| anxious to try it out. I never once thought I could do an actual
| install/setup in Safe Mode. This worked and I was up and flying immediatly.
| I did not continue with the Reg Clean however, for fear of deleting a needed
| file. Should I still continue with this step?

| Best Regards,
| FJCan.

|| Hi FJCan,
||
|| You may need to reinstall that completely using this technique ..
||
|| Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:
||
|| Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.
||
|| Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
|| and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
|| that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.
||
|| Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
|| game, delete them:
