Default FSX startup bug

I've just bought and installed MS Flight SimX and am beginning to regret it.
It refuses to load, complaining that the MSXML component is missing and I
should re-install FSX. OK, I thought, why didn't it just load it when it
was installed? Nevertheless, I found MSXML SP2, installed that and guess
what? Same message as before with the MSXML SP2 component missing.
Analysing what has happened, I think that FSX doesn't like to, (or cannot),
co-exist with MSXML - the error message is confusing and incorrect.
Sadly, uninstalling MSXML hasn't so far helped. Has anyone else seen this
and got a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Charles
