I would very much like to know if there is a way to get activate.exe to run under Windows 10 so I can avoid mucking around with the registry.Īll this difficulty I'm having activating FSX and FSX Acceleration in Windows 10 is strange as I don't recall having any problems activating either under Windows 7 (which I despised so much so I went back to Windows XP). I found some info on line about editing the registry that might get activate.exe to run but I'm extremely leery about mucking around with the registry.

Reinstalling/repairing FSX might have been what finally caused activiate.exe to finally run but doing the same with FSX Acceleration so far has not worked. Running it in Windows XP compatibility mode and as administrator has so far been unsuccessful as it apparently was with FSX itself (actually, I'm not quite sure how I managed to get activate.exe to run so I could activate FSX!). I then installed FSX Acceleration expecting but so far have been unable to get activate.exe to run so I can enter it's product key. After fiddling around with activate.exe for about 20 minutes the activation window finally popped up and I was able to enter my product key for FSX.

Actually, I'm having trouble activating FSX Acceleration in Windows 10.
