Think I'm in business now. FSUIPC$.log now shows in my FSX Modules folder, and I have an "Addons" menu item in FSX. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled FSX, then installed FSUIPC4. Seems to be working. I was able to run Live Cockpit for a brief test. Still have not reinstalled Acceleration, but will do so and test again. Thanks for your interest and time. Looks like I had a corrupt FSX installation.

No, there isn't. Only the install log. The DLL.XML file is as follows: FSUIPC 4 False Modules\FSUIPC4.dll In the meantime, I did a "Repair" of both FSX and Accel to eliminate the various addons I had installed, leaving a virgin FSX install. I also deleted the fsx.cfg file to start afresh - then attempted a re-install of FSUIPC4. No effect. It's still not loading, and at this point, I'm afraid I'm out of altitude and airspeed on this one. I know of nothing more to check. Am I supposed to have any other utilities installed in order to get FSUIPC4 to load. Am I supposed to have an FSUIPC4.LOG file in the FSX Modules folder? I do not, and if I don't, why don't I?

Pete - The dll.xml file in my user account is as follows: <?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 would very much appreciate some tips from anyone on what's not right with my installation of FSUIPC4. I've read most of the relevant documentation, and I gather I should be seeing an "Addon" menu item inside FSX on the right side of the menu, and there's nothing there. Windows 7 Home Premium, FSX w/Acceleration, FSUIPC4 v4.60. I've reinstalled FSUIPC4 a couple of times, tried the registry fixes, and the install log looks OK to me: Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.60a Looking in registry for FSX install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0 Parameter"SetupPath" ... >>> OK!
