It's a well documented Windows installer error:
https://windowsreport.com/error-1722-fsx/
In short:
- Scan the Registry
- Start the Windows Installer Service
- Reregester the Windows Installer Service
- Open the Program and Uninstall Troubleshooter
- Enable Windows Script Hosting
- Set up a new Admin Account
Hope this helps!

I recently bought a new rig and had to re-install all the stuff. Had some issues with FSX but finally succeeded after lengthy tries, search for fixes and two complete re-install.
So where are you stuck, it maybe I had same pb and so possible solution?
Tried to install 3 times; got the same (error 1722) thing 3 times. Any other ideas?
Hi Folks
FSX Error 1722 is a Software Licensing issue
occuring when you attempt to reinstall FSX.
Please see the official Microsoft Support page -
Error 1722 when reinstalling Flight Simulator X
Hopefully that should fix it.
N.B.
Important that when installing FSX, you do so as ADMINISTRATOR.

ok, if its the registration of fsx acceleration issue I know it.
It's no an easy one, surprisingly a mater of registry, not written exactly the proper way.
Please do the following before installing acceleration:
Go to the bottom left to the command zone and type 'regedit'
Then 'Edit' in the top bar, look for 'search'
When in 'search' type 'UpperFilters'
After a short while you may see on the right side of the window 'UpperFilters REG_MULTI_SZ XXXX'
XXXX may be different things. Go to the next until you read 'partmgr'
For me it is in the key 53487c23-680f-4585-acc3-1f10d6777e82.
IF YOU READ PartMgr change to partmgr by clicking onto 'UpperFilters'.
Then install Acceleration again. It will ask for registration without anymore trouble.
1. run regedit (Windowskey +R)
2. Expand the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTRO L\CLASS\{4D36E967-
E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.
4. Change the value from 0 to PartMgr and/or remove any other settings and then click OK.
5. Close Registry Editor
6. Start FSX/Accel and you should get the registration wizard.

The most important thing to remember is that the registry entry PartMgr must, MUST be capitalized as shown. The capitol P and M. The rest must be lower-case. A lot of folks make the mistake of making it all lower case, or whatever.
Good luck!
