I'am trying to re-instally Microsoft Flight Simulator X, on my external hard

missing files etc, one moment it was working and the next not, I trying to
uninstall/repair the game but the following error occurred, I manually
deleted the the folder on content that the gfame was in after the error msg
appeared hoping that this would solve it, I have also edited the regedit
file's actually deleted and still I get the same error msg

Error 1324, The path Extended Games contains an invalid character..

Hi John Lewis,

Based on your post, you should skip right down to step C on this list ...

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: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

Hi John,

I recently posted in a thread regarding error 1324:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...f6f9b52050e2fb
Do a search (if necessary) to locate the Extended Games folder, and if a
reference to Extended Games appears in the specified registry key, ensure
that the path in the Value data field is correct.



Regards,
