Hello everyone. I am trying to install SP1 for my regular edition of FSX. Unfortunately, I have only gotten as far as a notice after I've downloaded SP1. It says: "This service pack requires the original release of FSX. Please install FSX and then start SP1 installation again." I will try to upload an image.
If anyone has any idea whats going on here and how to fix it (or point me in the direction of someone who can) I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

I'm not sure it'll work your case but I fixed similar problem to install SP2. I moved FSX from drive C(original install location of FSX) to drive D. Then I couldn't install FSX Acceleration with same message you got(my case SP2). I researched and found it was registry problem and I installed "FS_Registry_Repair.exe" from "http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library". And it worked after giving right path to FSX on D drive. As I mentioned, I'm not sure your FSX installed location but give it a try if it is moved or not installed as FSX default path. Good luck!

Hi Daniel, FSX is in drive C on my laptop. I just downloaded the registry repair like you did and I'll try to see what happens with it. Thanks!
