Flight Simulator X MSXML 4 SP2 Problem

Thanks for the reply Jimmy.

I have already tried this and it didn't fix the problem either. Any other
ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions:

How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

I am getting the same error message. Did you get your FSX to work? If so,
how? I am running XP Home SP2. I have MSXML 4 SP2 (KB927978), MSXML 4 SP2
Parser and SDK, and MSXML 6 installed.
 >> Stay informed about: Flight Simulator X MSXML 4 SP2 Problem 

I am brazilian and my english isn't very good, but I will try to explayn
the things that have to be made! It's very easy!

1-Download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?2t1jbgmlrbz

2-Save it to the game's folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X).

3-There is already a file with this name so delete it before
downloading it to the game's folder.



If your problem was not solved, download this file:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/xml/Install/4.0/W98NT42KMe/EN-U...sxml4.E
and install it.


If you have some questions, just post it here!

I think have helped, Sorry for my English!

Thanks. It doesn't work for me.
The only change I have is that I don't have the msxmla.dll - at all.
Any idea why don't I have it?

Your best solution would be to try installing MS XML SP2 directly from Microsoft:

Before you install it however, you might want to check
your add-remove programs menu to uninstall any previous
version(s) which may cause or be causing this conflict.

than after not solve your problem than repair Windows using these instructions:

How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates.
 >> Stay informed about: Flight Simulator X MSXML 4 SP2 Problem 

Hi. I've been having this problem for almost a week, and despite
searching all over the web and trying out everything suggested
(including what's on this thread), I still couldn't solve the problem.

This morning I was almost randomly installing fixes from Microsoft
related to MSXML4.0, and the last one I tried finally worked for me.

The fix is Security Update for MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430). Here
are the instructions:

1) Go to Control Panel, then to 'Add or Remove Programs'. When the list
loads up, find anything related to "Microsoft MSXML 4.0", and uninstall
it.

2) Dowload 'msxml4-KB954430-enu.exe'
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=96a4413c-5261-4f69-83d0-932c430abd14&displaylang=en)
from the Microsoft site.

3) When it's downloaded, open the installer. Do not install directly;
first, click on Modify. On that screen, you'll notice the component
listed as "SDK" is not set to be installed. Click on it, and select the
first option. Now proceed with the install.

That should be it. After doing this, I could run FSX.

Now, since I did a LOT of things trying to fix this problem, I'm not
100% sure this will work for a clean install of FSX. There might be some
other part of the fix that is required.

Hope this helps someone.
