Yes, correct, assuming you are looking at the correct files -- Windows defaults to hiding extensions for "known filetypes" like INI and LOG. It calls them things like "configuration settings" and "text files".
I pointed you to the button to press to do this, the one which looks like <>, just one from the end of the row of buttons just aboveyour Forum message edit area, just to the right of the Quote button, which you seem to have found okay. The advantage of the code quotes is that is preserves the layout.
Anyway, as far as I can tell the file looks okay, so FSUIPC4 should most certainly have run. Could you please double-check the files present in the FSX Modules folder, please. Something isn't making sense. There should be FSUIPC4.DLL, FSUIPC4.LOG, FSUIPC4 Install.LOG, FSUIPC4.INI and maybe FSUIPC4.KEY, as well as the subfolder "FSUIPC Documents" Turn off the Windows Explorer folder option for hiding file extensions so you can see the whole filename.

Dear Sir,
The module folder contains the FSUIPC4.DLL, FSUIPC4 Install.LOG and the FSUIPC documents. The rest are not present. I disabled explorer hide file extensions as suggested and performed a search for the missing files, nothing.
Here is the dll.xml again with the code button, thanks for the lesson, as forums are new to me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document>
Thanks again for the help.

WideClient can't connect if FSUIPC isn't running, so are they really separate issues? If you think so, why is that?
When you say "looked at module folder and can tell that it has not even started upon running FSX" can you please say how you can tell? I don't mind folks doing their own diagnostics, but it would help me to know how you arrive at conclusions, please.
If FSUIPC is not being loaded at all then it can really only be a badly formed DLL.XML. Seems there's a lot of folks installing this "superbug" who are experiencing this so I woner if it is to do with its installer. Perhaps you can find and show me the DLL.XML file (paste it into a message here, but please do enclose it in the code parentheses -- use the <> button above).
You'll find the DLL.XML file in this folder:
C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
You could also try renaming that file, then downloading and running the Installer for FSUIPC 4.638, which tries to do a better job on the DLL.XML. You'll find that later version in the Download Links subforum here, and also a later FSUIPC DLL (4.664).

Dear Sir,
Thanks for the quick reply and patience with my lack of tech. I've been reading the forum posts for the last few days.
1. When I look in the module folder I do not have a FSUIPC4 ini. or a FSUIPC log. As I understand it this means that it has not run.
2. Here is the dll.xml file. Not sure what you meant by enclosing it in the code parentheses:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>

Thanks again for your help and patience, If I do not repy for a few days its because I am flying in real life.

Need help. Trying to load FSUIPC so as to be able to install FSX superbug. Downloaded and ran, when finished it states that it is installed in FSX. Looked at module folder and can tell that it has not even started upon running FSX. Have wideclient issues as well, but I'll tackle one at a time. Here is my install log:
Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.60a
Looking in registry for FSX install path:

FSX Modules folder already exists.
Okay -- installed FSUIPC4 into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL"

Now checking DLL.XML ...
... There is a previous DLL.XML, checking for FSUIPC4 section.
... FSUIPC4 section already exists but will be replaced.
... FSUIPC4 section of DLL.XML written okay
Now checking for a SimConnect.XML file ...

any help is appreciated as my wife is getting sick of me sitting here trying to figure it out!

Mr. Dawson,
You were correct in regards to item 1, reinstallations of FSX. I have installed and re-installed FSX several times in the past. I did have some problems loading FSX before due to re-installation. For some reason FSX is sensative to this. Solution: I got FSUIPC to load by uninstalling FSX and creating a new user account on my computer, then re-installing FSX and other flight sim related software under the new user account. When I loaded FSUIPC It worked without any problems. I don't know if this is the only solution , but for me it was the cleanest. I'm sure this issue will crop up with other FSX users who are installing FSX superbug, especially with the upcoming release of TACPAC. Thanks for all your help.
Cheers,
Brian.
