FSX SE doesn't load FSUIPC4


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete can you help me fix that ?

 

The answers are in the FSUIPC4 Install log file, found in your FSX Modules folder. Without that I can't help.

 

Make sure you press OK to such messages to make sure things continue, and please don't post pictures, They are not needed and rarely informative.

Ok,

 

Here is the Log :

 

No, that is NOT the Install log, that is the run time log, showing FSUIPC 4.938e was installed and ran perfectly well on the 9th of this month, i/e just a few days ago.

 

So what on Earth are you doing? Why, for instance, are you trying to reinstall FSUIPC4 when it was working fine?

 

If you want help with the Install I need to see the Install log, but it looks like to you did it okay once, so what are you messing with?

Sorry Peter,

 

Don't get me wrong ! I'm not a programmer or something like that.....I'm just a simmer that has been using FSUIPC for a long time......

 

At present time I'm trying to move to FSX:SE like many others and one of the first add-in, like yourself like to call your program, I'm trying to install is your FSUIPC4.

 

I'd like to repeat I'm just a simmer since 1996....just it !

 

Regards,

Okay. So?

Right, fine. But you supplied a log showing you were using FSUIPC 4.938e in FSX-SE quite successfully a few days ago (on the 9th). So, what happened?
 
Why are you not wanting to answer my questions, which are only designed to try and elicit information to help you, after all.
 
I'd like to repeat I'm just a simmer since 1996....just it !
 
Okay, but that still answers no questions. Do you actually want any help, or not? 
 
Please review my original response. I fail to understand why you are so insistent on your history, rather than wanting to fix a problem you think you have?

Recently I've uninstalled and then reinstalled FSX :SE last version (Beta) 10......

 

May be or better I've made something wrong after that.

 

Sorry and thanks,

I'm trying to answer what you have asked me .....

 

Good. Let's see:

 

 >>>  OK! FOUND FSX!  <<< ...
     SetupPath=C:\FSX SE\steamapps\common\FSX\
 
You have the FSX pointer in the registry pointing to FSX-SE instead. Have you uninstalled FSX?
 
>>>  OK! FOUND FSX-SE!  <<< ...
     AppPath=C:\FSX SE\steamapps\common\FSX\
 
and you have the registry FSX-SE pointer pointing to the same FSX-SE installation. Fine. FSUIPC should now cope with that mixup now, though it's odd.
 
************ BUT this is the same path as for FSX! Will only install for FSX-SE ************
 
Okay so far. But this entry is odd:
 
Cannot find FSX_SE.CFG. Looking to see if installed with FSX.CFG instead ...
 
It looks like it is saying that without even looking for it! That, I don't understand at present. I will check into how that can happen, but I'm afraid I'm busy over the weekend, so it won't be till Monday now. Meanwhile, what you can do is make a copy of your FSX_SE.CFG file, found in folder
 
C:\Users\Marco\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
and/or
C:\Users\Marco\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE
 
depending on how you got things into this state, then rename the copy as FSX.CFG. Then rerun the installer. The copy won't do any harm.
 
Meanwhile, you still haven't answered this question:
 
... you supplied a log showing you were using FSUIPC 4.938e in FSX-SE quite successfully a few days ago (on the 9th). So, what happened?
 
The answer to that should help determine why your registry is in a mess.
 
[LATER]
Ah, I see a possible answer in your later message:
 
Recently I've uninstalled and then reinstalled FSX :SE last version (Beta) 10......
 
Why did you uninstall and reinstall? Did you ever have FSX installed, or do you still? I still don't quite get how you have a pointer for FSX pointing to FSX-SE.

Okay. I've simulated your problem by messing about in my Registry. I'll see if I can make the Installer handle this, yet another variation on what folks seem to achieve with this FSX / FSX-SE muddle. That's at least 4 variations already of what's been achieved in the way of a mixup!

 

Meanwhile, the work-around i suggested above will work fine.

 

[LATER]

 

I've changed the Installer to cope with your variation too, but it can't be released till the current FSX-SE Open Beta is finished, so I can finalse the FSUIPC changes. The workaround I gave you will work.

 

There are now 4 cases of mixups folks can get into, which FSUIPC has to try and deal with:

 

FSX.CFG being used in FSX-SE folder

FSX_SE.CFG being used in FSX-SE folder (the correct situation for a dual install)

FSX.CFG being used in FSX folder (the correct situation for an FSX-SE only install, no sign of FSX)

FSX_SE.CFG being used in FSX folder 

 

The first and last are actually wrong (i think yours is the last), and i don't really think FSX-SE can work like that -- it will make a new CFG file when run, I think.

 

However, I will make the FSUIPC4 Installer work even in the wrong cases, to alleviate the hassle i otherwise get.

Hopefully this won't happen ! But, all of us always will be surfing on this beach. Thinking better some little hassle isn't so bad and certanly unavoidable. :razz:

 

I'm going to do what you said above.

 

 

Warmly, with respect and great admiration !

Ah, that's because I didn't put an installer up for it. Sorry. It isn't relevant in any case because I tested it here, and it doesn't do any different to the one you tried.

 

You can either try what I suggested, which I'm sure will work, or wait till i can release the next updated installer.

Hi Pete,

 

Just to complete this thread.

 

The only way that I've achieved to fix this question was doing a new OS instalation.........please don't bother, I'm just a simmer..... :razz: . 

 

It seems that the FSX box  version  " bind " into the " core " of the Operational System.....sorry....these were the words I found to try explain my struggle !..... difficulting The instalation of the FSX Steam Edition. Registry Troubles.
