Might take a while and it's not perfect but it is the next step to take and please feel free to repost and keep us updated as steps are completed. This is the Microsoft Sytem File Checker and it will try and find/fix corrupted system files.
Yes it does seem there is a level of corruption present, given it's not actually installed but Windows thinks it is.įirst is open a CMD using Run as administrator, the right click power menu option should have it. Hopefully we'll hear from you soon and all will be resolved. Now that any 2005 redistributables have been uninstalled, the downloaded ones from Microsoft are installed and the Steam reg key is inactive, try starting FSX-SE, Steam should see their c++ install regkey is no longer there and trigger its c++ install process and all going well the game should start. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2005.old
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2005Īnd if you are not comfortable in deleting, a rename should do the trick, see below example where I've rename the 2005 to 2005.old This is the registry Key Steam sets, if it doesn't exist it means Steam has not installed the required runtimes. When Steam installs a game that includes c++ redistributables it sets its own install registry key, this it does to prevent itself from running the redistributables install every time you start the game and you'll need to rename or delete that key to force Steam to re-install. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.įixing the issue may involve the uninstall of all 2005 c++ runtimes, then installing the downloaded c++ runtimes and then letting Steam install what it requires.

Hopefully there will be a clue as to what FSX-SE is looking for and you might see something along the lines of below, however please ignore the FSX path and the version number in the below example as it is just an example.Īctivation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe".ĭependent Assembly ,processorArchitecture="x86", Scroll to the date/time of when the last fail of FSX was and start reviewing those errors and warnings. The Event Viewer can be found by using the right click pop menup of the start menu, choose "Custom Views/Administrative Events"
I would then check the Event Viewer for an FSX error. They'll probably be earlier versions than the ones Steam installs but should install side by side OK.

The x versions are both recent installs from this year.Īs a troubleshooting exersize I would first download the current c++ installs from Microsoft. The (圆4) has just the single install and is version 0 The x86 release I have two installed, one as version 6, the other as 1 You should have both the 圆4 and x86 releases installed and I have three different version numbers installed. What version of the 2005 c++ redistributables is installed? Programs and Features will have the details. What happens?Īssuming all good and well to this point but the error is still occuring. There should be an administration elevation request that you click OK to and Steam should then run.Īt that point try running the game. Right Click on Steam.exe and choose "Run as administrator" In my instance it is "D:\Games\Steam\" but your's might be long the lines of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\Steam\". In any case if Steam is running exit it completely so that the icon in the right hand side task bar system tray is gone.īrowse to the local steam install location (wherever Steam is installed). Typically the first account configured on Windows is always an administator acccount though.ĭoes Steam automatically start with login? I assume you are a local administator on the machine? Thinking about it it sounds as if Steam is trying to install something, probably the C++ runtimes given that is your error for FSX-SE.Ĭould be Administrator elevation is a problem.
