Dear Pete,
after using your FSUIPC for long time without any problem, I now ran into trouble.
Yesterday I installed a clean FSX version due to SP1 on a new big Partition and of course deinstalled FSX before.
After installing and patching I installed FSUIPC and the installation went O.K. as the installation log says:
------------------------------------------
Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.10
Looking in registry for FSX install path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0
Parameter"SetupPath"
SetupPath="H:\FSX_xp\"
Checking version of FSX.EXE:
... Version 10.0.61355.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0)
Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:
... Okay, Probe Manifest matches installed SimConnect SP1 May07
Checking if there's already a version of FSUIPC4 installed in:
H:\FSX_xp\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL
... Version 4.100 found.
FSX Modules folder already exists.
Okay -- installed FSUIPC4 into "H:\FSX_xp\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL"
Looking for the current user's Application Data path:
... found as "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\urom\Anwendungsdaten"
Now finding \Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG for all users, including this one
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\Anwendungsdaten"
No FSX.CFG there
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten"
No FSX.CFG there
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Default User\Anwendungsdaten"
No FSX.CFG there
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\LocalService\Anwendungsdaten"
No FSX.CFG there
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\NetworkService\Anwendungsdaten"
No FSX.CFG there
Looking in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\urom\Anwendungsdaten"
Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\urom\Anwendungsdaten\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG"!
Now checking DLL.XML ...
... There is a previous DLL.XML, checking for FSUIPC4 section.
... FSUIPC4 section already exists but will be replaced.
... FSUIPC4 section of DLL.XML written okay
Now checking for a SimConnect.XML file ...
... No SimConnect.XML file found. This is okay.
Now installing additional files into the Modules folder:
Installed "FSUIPC4 User Guide.pdf" okay
Installed "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf" okay
Installed "FSUIPC4 History.pdf" okay
Installed "List of FSX controls.pdf" okay
All installer tasks completed okay!
--------------------------------------
But there is no "addons menu" showing up in FSX.
I tried (I hope so) all hints given in this forum, but no success.
I have no 3rd party firewall installed.
FSX is allowed to connect all computers and internet (XP firewall exeptions)
Your software is trusted (in IE7 ...content)
I tried cryptograhic services fix like mentioned in your forum.
I tried to reinstall simconnect via simconnect.msi.
--------------------------------------
simconnect.ini gives this:
0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61242.0
0.24851 DLL Loaded: Path="C:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll"
Version="10.0.61355.0"
0.25366 DLL Loaded: Path="C:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects
SDK\visualfxtool.dll" Version="10.0.61355.0"
0.25786 DLL Failed to load. Check for missing dependencies.
0.25787 DLL Load Failed: Error=-3 Path="Modules\FSUIPC4.dll"
--------------------------------------
I am close to an complete reinstall of OS and FSX if their is no solution in sight.
So I am asking if you have any further idea of fixing this with out a complete reinstall.
If not, I know what to do on weekend :-)
kind regards
