Hi Pete
I will add the log below but in response - the Unregistered message shows when I goto Add Ons and open FSUIPC then it shows me the version, after copying the DLL, for 4.558 once installed, and shows this version but says this is unregistered and to please use the installer to register. When i Do this it is 100% and closes. Then i start FSX and it remains Unregistered though the Log says registration is fine. On the same not, if i don't start FSX with Admin rights in the same dialogue where the buttons are to register via installer it says, just above the buttons, that it will need Admin to be able to register and run - sorry don't have exact wording but along those lines.
I tried 4.23 that I found sometime ago and reinstalled Vista 64 on Tuesday. Then I installed Air Hauler which I believe updated this to 4.50 and then I decided I needed to now buy this as it is core to my cockpit. So i installed 4.53 and then copied the DLL. I must say that I tried MANY ways, 4.23, 4.50, then 4.53 then DLL and in no matter what order I would always have the same issue - saying not registered. I can forward my Email from SimMarket if necessary. I am currently re-installing Acceleration to "repair" and see. I also deleted it as trusted from the FSX.CFG file but did not help.
Here is my Log:
