My FSX Keeps Freezing During Installation

Flight Simulator X is the 10th upgrade in the long-running series of PC games by Microsoft. Released in 2006, it features dozens of highly detailed flyable aircraft, an updated and more realistic graphics engine and the addition of interactive missions. With the game sold on two DVDs and requiring a relatively large installation size of 14 GB, the installation progress can sometimes freeze or encounter disk errors caused by incompatible software.
