Hi Pete, Thanks for this, but no matter what I tried FSUIPC could not find any of the simconnect.dll regardless of which installer I tried. Also, as you mentioned, I could not find the simconnect dll's within the WinSxs folder despite them appearing to be installed fine as they even appeared in the control panel installed programs. I vaguely remembered the mention of scndsk or chkdsk in some other thread regarding a similar issue. I didn't try this directly but when I tried booting up an old WIN 7 OS I have kept on another drive for some reason the computer wanted to run checkdsk on my WIN10 drive saying it needed it. I let it do this and when I was in WIN 7 I could now find the dll's where they were supposed to be on the WIN 10 drive. Booting WIN 10 up again I checked and the dll's were still there where they hadn't been before. FSUIPC4975a then installed with no further issues. Maybe someone else knows what has happened here but I have no idea and cannot provide a step by step solution other than running scndsk or chkdsk on the windows drive might help. This really was a trial and error solution. Thanks again Phill

Hi, I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 7. Previously had no problem installing my registered version of FSUIPC in win 7 but I have gone for a clean install of FSX in Win10. I have run the FSUIPC 4.975 installer and it is not able to find simconnect.dll in WinSxs or WinSxS/Fusion INSTALLATION FOR FSX: SetupPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" Checking version of the FSX EXE: ... Version 10.0.61472.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0) Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect: Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\*SimConnect*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\*SimConnect*10.0.60905.0*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\*SimConnect*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\*SimConnect*10.0.62607.0*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\*SimConnect*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\*SimConnect*10.0.61242.0*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion\*SimConnect*" Looking for SimConnect.dll with "C:\Windows\WinSxS\*SimConnect*10.0.61259.0*" ... Failed to find a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4! Having installed all three versions of Simconnect I have looked for these files and think I have found them in a folder called WinSxS/Manifests How can I get simconnect to install into a folder that FSUIPC will find it or how can FSUIPC look in the folder that they are actually in? Hope you can help. Regards Phill
