Hi Pete, The dll file is not in a folder, it just in my App Data/Micro/FSX/DLL Iv even deleted the FSX folder just to see if it makes a differneceb but again it didnt work. Its really temtping to format my pc but there is too much to loose. Regrds.

Hi Pete, Yes i am logging in the same user as the installs, I only run one user and that is the default Administrator one. I have deleted the DLL file and re run the installer but still has not made a difference. Thank you ever so much for helping, it is much appriciated i am going to contact MS FSX Support see if they can assist me further, personally i do not want to run a fresh intall of Windows XP, as other users on other forums have suggested but i will try and see what options (if any) i have. Once again thank you. Regards.

Hi Pete, Yes FS Passenger is a 3rd party Add on for FS2004 which i thought was for FSX but the newer version is to come out some time next month for FSX so i deleted FS Passenger anyways i have done the log thing and it is below. 0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61259.0 0.06169 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=Pipe, Name=\\.\pipe\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimConnect, MaxClients=64 0.07529 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=IPv4, Address=127.0.0.1, Port=2512, MaxClients=64

Hi Pete, I posted the big pictures to help explain I will remove them, now i understand what you meant and it is clear that FSUIPC is not being loaded because i dont have the log there, How on Earth did those SimConnect files get in there! They are likely to mess things up! Did you copy them there from somewhere, or installed something else that did that? No, I have not manuely moved/copied them from somewhere else, I have deleted them but still no luck, and the only thing i have installed is the FSX SP2 that MAY have put them there but nothing else. I once installed FSPASSENGER but i uninstalled that a long time ago but i dont think that uses Simconnect? What is the file obscurely called "SimConnect Security Catalog"? What is it's actual filename? It is a security log of some kind it only opens with "Crypto Shell Extensions" and when i open the file i get window attached below. and the Acutal file name is "SimConnect" I think you should delete all three of those SimConnect files and try again. You ought to try and work out what put them there, because it is wrong. I Have deleted and tried again but still no luck, but i dont no how they got there, is there any way i can find out? i could re run the FSX SP2 and try to see if the files are there or not?

the "DLL" XML FILE is below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> Launch dll.xml False False Object Placement Tool True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll Traffic Toolbox True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll Visual Effects Tool True False ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll FSUIPC 4 False Modules\FSUIPC4.dll I hope this helps Pete, and i have not further confused you, your help is much appriciated and looking forward to your next guridance, if your unsure or dont understand propperly please dont hesitate to ask me again. Thanks Regards.

The only log i have is the one illustrated in the picutre above which i am going to paste below, this is named as FSUIPC INSTALL LOG is it the same as FSUIPC LOG? or are you talking about a different file but simmilar?

Hi Pete, Sorry to confuse you, what i meant is the INSTALL LOG is there but there is no other log, I assume when you say FSUIPC LOG it is a sepirate file like the FSUIPC INSTALL log or is it the same? ""There is no other log there Pete, My hidden files is enabled and i cannot see any log just 1 DLL file and rest are PDF files such guides."" What i meant there was that their is only one log which is the install log. If the Install log is there but no FSUIPC4 log, then FSUIPC4 isn't being loaded by SimConnect. That either means the DLL.XML file is bad or SimConnect is broken. I do have the install LOG, i shall paste that below. The following files are what i have in this directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules there is only the following files "List of FSX controls" "FSUIPC4 Install" (note pad file) "FSUIPC4 History" "FSUIPC4.DLL" "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users" "FSUIPC4 User Guide" in this directory C:\Documents and Settings\Haleem\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\ I have the "dll" (XML file) "SimConnect.dll" "SimConnect.Manifest" and few others. I have attached some pictures to help.

Hi Peter Apologies for the delay i had temperoy internet problems. [q]Yes, the installation log shows that part working fine. Now we need to determine whether FSUIPC4 is actually being loaded by SimConnect or not. For that, please look in the FSX Modules folder and see if there is an FSUIPC4 Log file (not the Install log, another one). If there is, paste that here. [/q] There is no other log there Pete, My hidden files is enabled and i cannot see any log just 1 DLL file and rest are PDF files such guides. Pete wat i did was first uninstall the FSX from add and remove programs section in control panel then rebooted then deleted all the FSX folders including the one in C/Doc/App Data/My User/Micro/FSX i deleted all those folders but still no luck. Can you provide me any more help without the FSUIPC log, and if it is not there where will it be stored on my computer? Regards.

Hi Pete, I have searched all of the forum and google but i cannot fix my problem, I have Windows XP SP2 installed, with that I has FSX SP1 installed and SP2, I have installed FSUIPC it stays installtion is okay, but the "addon" never shows up hence i cant use Flyingschool which requires Simconnect and FSUIPC, I have deleted FSX(including all folders) and reinstalled it back but still have no luck with it, below il paste the installtion log, looking to hear from you soon, Cam you please help me, make it work? I used to have Mcfee but i uninstalled that a long time ago. no other secuirty is on (not even windows) Regards.
