Updating FSX Add-ons (FSUIPC)

[odlaz]

Purchased FSUIPC in 2011 upgraded in 2013.

Down-loaded FSUIPC V4.937 10/25/2014 .

The installation appeared to go smoothly, registered the upgrade successfully.                             However, FSUIPC V4.703 that appears in the FSX ADD-ONS FSUIPC Options and Settings About section still shows:

 

FSUIPC Version V4.703

25th April 2011

This is a registered copy! Thank you!

Question:

Should this now reflect the upgrade and show V 4.937 as the working upgrade, if so, how is this accomplished? Or is the upgrade actually working behind the scene?

If it says it is 4.703, then it is 4.703. Check the Install log file which should be in the Modules folder. Paste the contents here if you don't understand it. The most likely thing I think could happen is that your registry says that FSX is installed in a different folder to the one you are loading it from,. Maybe you made a copy at some stage and are using that. FSUIPC's installer expects the Registry entries to point to your installed copies correctly.

Thanks for your response.

I read the FSUIPC4 Install log

10/27/20149:25 AM

Text Document

5 kb

 

I attempted to attach the file; "You aren't  permitted to upload this kind of file" message appeared.

Tried copy and paste from note pad and from Word to no avail. Also turned of the firewall; same result.

 

There were listed a series (23) for SFX.CFG searches with a "NO SFX.CFG there" 

 

The last entry of the log reads:

All installer tasks completed.

Registration for FSUIPC4 was successful (result code 00)

 

I hope to solve my attach and copy/paste problem so that I can post the log.

 

In my original post I neglected to mention that the new FSUIPC4 version did appear in the ADD-ON menu, but only once.

 

Again thanks for your indulgence in my ineptness.

I think some Browser's have some default option set which stops pasting into Forums, but i don't recall where the option is or what it is called -- but you need to change it as the only way I will get to see your log and so help would be for you to paste it. Try using the <> button above the edit area to enclose the text. Otherwise, hopefully, someone reading this will be able to tell us what option you need to change.

That sounds like something else you have installed has overwritten it with an older version. Unfortunately there are still some add-ons which do this sort of thing. try rerunning the current FSUIPC installer.

I finally woke, up and hopefully the FSUIPC4 install log is attached.

 

Thanks again for your consideration.

Okay. The install log is fine and shows that 4.937 was most certainly copied into the correct folder. Check it there:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL

 

If the Properties on that file says it is NOT 4.937, but an earlier one, then something else you have installed has overwritten it. Please simply re-run the FSUIPC Installer.

Problem solved. Per your suggestion, as is clearly stated  in the installation instructions, I uninstalled FSX form the C:\Programs Files (x86) and reinstalled into C:\FSX folder, then ran the FSUIPC4 installer.

The  FSUIPC ADD-ON module in FSX now shows V4.937.

As a side issue, the installation of ASNext weather program and the subsequent ERRO Message and ASNext shutdown started my problems.

The thought was that the version of FSUIPC I had installed may have the culprit; not so the ERROR message still appears.

The moral of this story: READ YOUR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!!!

 Peter thanks again.
