Flight Simulator X MSXML 4 SP2 Problem

Hello...after 3 months of searching i think i have the solution for
msxml4 and flight simulator x fsx.

First of all you don't have to download anything from microsoft or
anywhere and you don't have to change anything about
msxml4.manifest...everything you need is on fsx installation dvd...

The problem is that fsx needs the version 4.20.9818 of msxml4.dll which
is an old version considering that the game is 2-3 years old...So if you
have a newer version of this file e.g. 4.20.9854,4.30.1000...etc and
generally every version above 4.20.9818 that's the problem!!!

When you install fsx on your pc,fsx also tries to install the correct
version of msxml4.But as soon as you have a newer version of msxml4
nothing is installed...So when you try to run fsx it finds a newer
version of msxml4 and gives you the error that msxml4 component is not
install...etc which is really installed but not the specific version
that fsx needs.

The solution is to locate the file msxml4.dll in your hard
disk(c:\windows\system32) and check the version that you have...(if you
have problem with fsx i'm sure that you will have a version above
4.20.9818...)

Move this file to your desktop,or just rename it.Go to control
panel-add/remove programs and remove msxml4.Then go to the fsx dvd and
find and run "msml.msi".Restart your pc and run the game....

If the problem is still there go to c:\windows\system32 and also remove
or rename the files msxml4a.dll and msxml4r.dll.Install msxml.msi from
fsx dvd again and restart your pc again.Run the game and everything
should be ok...The version of these 2 files that i have and the game
works is 4.10.9404

That's all....and congratulations to microsoft who made a game that
works only with a specific old version of msxml4 and not with newer
versions...It is stupid but that's microsoft!!!!

I hope i solve your problem or at least i made you to understand it....

Enjoy the game....

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?
