I cannot thank you enough for this post - I had almost the identical problem
trying to install FSX:Acceleration but compounded the problem when I decided
to delete and re-install FSX itself - and then hit the same problem trying to
re-install FSX - which had been running for 13 months without much in the way
of problems. Did what you suggested, created new Admin user - disconnected
from network, and used phone activation and it succeeded - so at least I have
FSX fully operational again - next up will be the Acceleration re-install -
but this got me back in the air - thanks again!
