Error messages when you try to install Flight Simulator X: "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification” and “Please insert the disc 2 in the drive”

When you install Microsoft Flight Simulator X, you may receive the following error messages: Additionally, if you explore the contents of the Flight Simulator X disc, no files are present.

This issue may occur if third-party DVD movie players or DVD disc creating programs, such as InterVideo Launcher or Nero 7 interfere with the reading of the Flight Simulator X disks. The DVD discs for Flight Simulator X are formatted as Universal Disk Format (UDF) Volumes. Typically this kind of DVD disc is read by a UDF volume reader that is installed with Microsoft Windows. However, third-party DVD movie players or DVD disc creating programs may prevent the UDF volume reader from functioning as expected.

To resolve this issue, remove the third-party burning program from the computer. To do this, follow the steps for the operating system that you are using.
