Dear Pete:
Thanks for your reply to my post.
As I told you my FSX De Luxe installation is fresh from DVD's, plus SP1 and Acceleration patch. No tweaks, no other addons but FSUIPC.
After FSX installation (plus SP1 and Acceleration) I installed registered FSUIPC4.xx until v4.60 without any problem.
Last saturday I downloaded FSUIPC4.70 (B) but it failed to install. The message was:
"Your FSX installation is incorrect! The version of SimConnect installed will not run FSUIPC. You may need to reapir the installation to rectify this first. No changes have been made by this program."
Besides this messages:

Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:
... Failed to find a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4!
After this I started FSX, and I saw that 'modules' menu doesn't appear in the 'Menu' bar as before.
I tried to install again FSUIPC4.60, as before, but is was not possible now. The messages were:
"Your FSX installation is incorrect! The version of SimConnect installed will not run FSUIPC. You may need to reapir the installation to rectify this first. No changes have been made by this program."

It is dated sept 16th, 2010. I suppose that when I installed FSUIPC 4.60 first time.
Besides of this, I do not have problems to play FSX.
My FSX is FSX De Luxe, in spanish. SP1 and Acceleration.
My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3, spanish, plus all security updates from Microsoft.
Best regards.
Enrique
