Ok, thanks. So the installer IS running, but it's failing with that message towards the end of the installation process (and before registration). I just wanted to check the size of the installer exe, to verify it is the same as expected. Not needed now though as the installer runs. What happens when you click the 'Ok' - does the installer just exit? Can you see if the installer has generated a log file in the same folder as where you ran the installer - if so, can you please attach. If not, and the installer is still running after the invalid opcode message, you could click the 'Show details' button and copy the contents and paste them here for me to see. It looks like the installer is failing to create the add-on.xml for some reason. Could you also try installing via the dll.xml method instead please - just un-tick the 'add-on.xml' checkbox in the components selection during installation. You can also try running the uninstaller that has been created first.

Hi Pierluigi, I currently have no idea what is causing this for a few people. It has been downloaded and used many thousands of times without issues, so this issue must be specific to certain set-ups. And people are providing little information for me to investigate. Could you let me know the following please: - when do you actually get the error - is it produced as soon as you run the installer exe? - what windows version/patch level are you using? - could you provide a screenshot of the properties of the Install_FSUIPC6.exe file please - and make sure you are using the latest version (6.0.8) Thanks, John

Glad its working for you, but deleting your FSUIPC5.ini file would have no affect on FSUIPC6, so I think your problem was elsewhere and this is just a coincidence.

First, you hijacked an unrelated thread. Please do not do this. For FSX, you need FSUIPC4. John

Then why didn't you post there instead of starting a new thread for exactly the same problem? As well as what Thomas has said, make sure that you have unzipped the downloaded package and are not trying to run the installer directly from the zip file. You can also try running the installer as an administrator, as it looks like this error can be caused by incorrectly set permissions on your account.

FSUIPCv6.0.8 has just been released.

Just release v6.0.8, available from the usual places. John

Hi Marc, I will be releasing FSUIPC v6.0.8 which is compatible with the Active Sky Beta a little later today. Cheers, John

No Need. FSUIPC3 is now free (as well as WideFS6) - please see the www.fsupic.com for license details. John.

First, you have posted in the FSUIPC client DLL forum - is this a question about the .net client dll, or a general FSUIPC question? P3Dv5 HF1? There will be a new FSUIPC6 released shortly (probably tomorrow now) that is compatible with ActiveSky for P3Dv5. John

Sorry, just checked the add-on.xml I provided and it was incorrectly specifying your add-on in a folder for v5. If you want to use the add-on.xml install method, you can try again with the following add-on.xml: add-on.xml

So you got the pop-up asking you if you wanted to activate FSUIPC6 (so it recognised the add-on.xml), you approved (clicked 'Yes'), but there was still no FSUIPC entry in your add-ons menu? If that is the case, its very strange and I would have to see your SimConnect log to resolve this. But if you are happy using the dll.xml install method, just go with that. John

0x3C00 does contain the AIR file - from the documentation: Flt sim path is in offset 0x3E00: I cannot see how offset 0x3124 can be empty - it is set directly after the P3D version is reported. Please try the following dll - this just contains an extra logging statement when offset 0x3124 is set: FSUIPC6.dll John

The problem is this: Cannot determine location of P3Dv4 add-on folder This is due to the fact that the installer cannot determine the location of your Documents folder from the registry (i.e. some standard windows registry entries are missing). You have two options: 1. Manually create the required add-on.xml file. Place the following file under C:\Users\KYH\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FSUIPC6 : add-on.xml This should work IF P3D still recognises your add-ons folder under Documents. 2. Re-run the installer but this time uncheck the 'add-on.xml' checkbox. This will then install FSUIPC6 using the older dll.xml install method.

In P3Dv4.5, P3Dv5 or both? There is no Modules folder with FSUIPC6, unless that is the folder you selected during the installation process. Please see the provided Installation and Registration manual for details on installation options and file locations. Then I need to see your installation log. No, it doesn't matter where P3D is installed. Suggest you read the provided installation manual and try again. If you still have problems, please post your installation log. John

Please see the Installation and Registration manual - it explains what is installed and where. Documents are now installed in a folder called FSUIPC6, located under your windows Documents folder. John

This has now been corrected in release 6.0.7.

Confirmed. The correction for when using the LuaPath ini parameter released last night introduced this problem. Sorry about that - I will look into it. As a temporary work-around, add the following to the [LuaFiles] section of your .ini file: LuaPath=<your installation directory>

Yes, it's a lot easier to sort out problems when this is done. If you are using a new rig, then the GUIDs could have changed, as well as the ids. It should be possible to sort this out though. Please post your .ini and .log files as well, and I'll take a look. Cheers, John

Hi Steve. yes, it's possible. When you run the installer it will ask which version of P3D you would like to install FSUIPC into. Just untick the P3Dv4 checkbox and it will install into v5 and leave your v4 installation as-is. Please see the provided Installation and Registration manual. Cheers, John

Hi Claudio, you can use them via any method: using the provided offset controls, via the provided lua scripting interface, or using one of the provided SDK libraries (for various programming languages). Regards, John

What further documentation do you expect? It is just what it says, an offset area of size 64 bytes starting at offset 66C0 that is free for general use. You can write/read any values you want/need in that offset range.

This should now be corrected in v6.0.6, just released.

That is a very old version of FSUIPC4 you are using. The latest is 4.974 - first please download and try this version, available from the Download Links -> Updated Modules section, or over on www.fsuipc.com. If you still have issues after this, suggest you first check the forums for similar issues (there are many posts regarding start-up issues with FSX!), and only if you cannot find a solution in a previous post, then post again and include your .log file and further information - just saying 'I am not able to run FSUIPC4' doesn't give us any information to enable us to help you.
