I FIXED IT... Observing that the FSUIPC installer identified a Microsoft Flight SImulator 10 installation in the windows registry (despite never having ever installed the software), I opened up regedit, navigated to the entry and deleted it. Subsequently, the installation ran perfectly and the FSUIPC4.key was created in my Prepar3d modules folder as expected. I did previously install a FSX payware flight model that was used only for Prepar3d and it obviously created the registry fsx entry that brought everything undone... FSX has never been installed on the target machine - only Prepar3d. (BTW FSUIPC was looking for FSX in a folder called "my programs" created by the payware installation. Perhaps a warning to anyone installing FSUIPC4 to Prepar3d after having installed / downloaded any payware flight models. :)

btw when entering my registration details using the installer, it is accepted (just not written to a file anywhere)

Prepar3d running under WIndows 7 I purchased FSUIPC + WideFS (simmarket) I downloaded the products I ran the FSUIPC installer Installer could not find fsx installation (there isn't one to find) I hit cancel to accept no FSX exists and okay to accepot the above fact The installer continues... Registration window for FSUIPC4 pops up I enter reg details for both FSUIPC and wideFS ("just enter new registrations") I run Prepar3d I look under menu = Addons / FSUIPC = status not registered I look in the Prepar3d modules folder and find no FSUIPC key file I repeat the above steps many times including I post this message in desperation thanks gk :) p.s. "check existing registration/s" result = registration cancelled or doesn't check correctly"
