awright

Hi Pete Thanks the install worked however there must have been another problem as FSX wouldn't load afterwards or after removing 4.26 so I went for another re install, yet to see if it's OK. The advice sorting it was very clear. Alex

OK Peter, I misunderstood. I will repair and get back to you. Thanks Alex

Peter Simconnect IS running, I have it on screen and the Tools bar in FSX that is why I am confused. I have downloaded 4.26 with the same result. All programs are being run from the main drive. I have administrator rights. Tanks Alex

Peter I had this running before having to do a major re-install and I now can not get Fsupic4 to install. I copy the install log below. I have SP2 and the SDK SP 2 installed and simconnect is the latest version. [*]Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.26 Looking in registry for FSX install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 Parameter"SetupPath" SetupPath="E:\FSX\" Checking version of FSX.EXE: ... Version 10.0.61472.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0) Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect: ... Probe Manifest fails to match a valid base SimConnect needed to load FSUIPC4! I can't see what the problem is. Help please. Alex
