Did something dumb. Can't Reinstall Flight Sim X

Hello folks, I'm new here. I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

On my machine which is Vista 64 business... about half of my games
don't show up in my programs uninstall program in control panel, the
programs list under the start button, nor do they ask to put a desktop
shortcut up. I have to do that manually. The games run fine but the
machine doesn't recognize them as being installed I guess....fully.

Well I had to uninstall FSX Deluxe/ acceleration because I was having
some errors. No big deal happens to games sometimes. Do it in my other
ones all the time. Well being it wasn't in the control panel I couldn't
uninstall it, or so I thought. I never knew I could put the disk in to
uninstall it. Found that out later. Anyway, I just deleted the folder
and did a regedit search for Microsoft Flight Simulator X , Simulator X
, and FSX and deleted them all and researched for them several times to
make sure they are gone. Did a virus scan with Symantec and degragged
the drive and restarted the computer and unplugged it.

Now when I reinstall it won't even have an option to reinstall. It has
remove or repair and it won't let me do either.

Please, your help is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Jason
