error 372

[kelle8806]

Hello,

 

I've a problem to install FSUIPC4 (newest version) correctly.

First it shows the following message: "Your FSX installation is not suitable for this version of FSUIPC. You may need to install an update from Microsoft."

I have P3D v 2.5 and I have the newest version of FSUIPC4 (registered one).

At the end of the installing of FSUIPC it says: "Installed into Prepar3D v2 okay!"

 

I need FSUIPC for FDC Live Cockpit (an add-on made for FSX). If I use FSUIPC4 and FSX and FDC it works fine. If I use the same version of FSUIPC4 and P3D and FDC it doesn't work. I install all older FSX add-ons with a payware migration tool and that works fine with all add-ons. During installation I deactivated Norton Antivirus.

 

I would like to upload FSUIPC4.log if you need it but the uploader says: "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file."

 

Could you please help me?

 

Thanks a lot!

I've a problem to install FSUIPC4 (newest version) correctly.

 

And what was your previous install version?

 

First it shows the following message: "Your FSX installation is not suitable for this version of FSUIPC. You may need to install an update from Microsoft."

 

I need to see the Install log to determine why that occurs. What version of FSX do you have installed?

 

I have P3D v 2.5 and I have the newest version of FSUIPC4 (registered one).

 

Sorry, what are you trying to install, then? I'm now confused. Do you ONLY have P3D, no FSX? Because the error you mention says that your registry points to an FSX installation.

 

At the end of the installing of FSUIPC it says: "Installed into Prepar3D v2 okay!"

 

So, what is the problem? Please explain! don't you believe it?

 

I need FSUIPC for FDC Live Cockpit (an add-on made for FSX). If I use FSUIPC4 and FSX and FDC it works fine. If I use the same version of FSUIPC4 and P3D and FDC it doesn't work. I install all older FSX add-ons with a payware migration tool and that works fine with all add-ons. 

 

Oh, no! Not one of those horrible migration programs which renames the progeam so that FSUIPC and other programs can't even tell what is going on?

 

When you say "it doesn't work" can you expand on that. What "doesn't work" about it? If FSUIPC running?

 

I would like to upload FSUIPC4.log if you need it but the uploader says: "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file."

 

Just paste contents of text files into your messages. Use the <> button above the edit area to enclose them. And the main file, for installation problems, is the install FSUIPC log file.

 

I also suspect FDC can't work with a renamed P3D installation. You need to undo whatever your horrible migration tool is doing to mess everything up!

Hello Pete,

 

I use FSX and P3D.

FSX version is: 10.0.61472.0

P3D version is: 2.5.12944.0

 

I use a payware migration tool because for me it is the only way to keep my old add-ons and use them in P3D. I don't understand to do it manually because i do it only in my leasure time. All add-ons work but FDC Live Cockpit doesn't work with P3D.

My FSX and FSUIPC4 and FDC work fine. My P3D and FSUIPC4 and FDC don't work.

 

The migration tool installs FDC without any error and as I said with my FSX FSUIPC works but not with my P3D. The only error message I get during installation is the one of FSUIPC. I deactivated Norton Antivirus to avoid problems.

Thanks!

Looking in registry for FSX install path:

That's a bad migration tool! It should at least clean up its mess when it has finished. It makes the Registry point to your P3D installation for FSX, and also seems to put an FSX.EXE there (or renamed Prepar3D.exe), which makes the confusion even worse!

 

The end result is:

 

************ BUT this is the same path as for Prepar3D v1! Will only install for Prepar3D v2 ************

 

There is really no way a decent installer can untangle the sort of mess this is in! Your so-called "migration tool" should only do its fiddle temporarily, whilst you are using stupid installers which can't work things out correctly. Then the "migration tool" should put things back correctly so that normal well-written installers can find the right things in the right place!

 

you were right. Now I deactivated the migration tool and installed FSUIPC again - without any error. Now i try to get FDC to work

 

Okay. I think you should only "activate" the tool when installing things which don't understand what they are doing, then deactivate it afterwards for normal use.

I found the problem with FDC and I wrote it in their forum:

 

FDC starts with a version of 2006 and not the newest one. That's why it doesn't work.

FSUIPC works fine now.

Thanks a lot. I'll really use this migration tool only to install the old add-ons and then I deactivate it forever.

 

Greetings!
