How to fix Error 1719 using W10

How do I fix error 1719, "Windows installer could not be accessed"  using Windows 10.  I tried to uninstall flight Simulator X in safe mode and that didn't work.  The error screen was hidden by the uninstall screen before I discovered the error number.  I tried unregistering and reregistering as discussed for W7 but got the message that the command was not recognized.  How do I fix the error in W10?
