Peter, after I deleted the dll.xml file and reinstalled everything, I have it working now! Thanks for all the advice. Mark T Chicago

Pete, I looked in the modules folder, there is no log file there. I now uninstalled the fscopilot & fsinn programs. I tried to reinstall FSUIPC, it said the install went ok. I checked again inside the modules folder but there still is no log. I did find a dll.xml file in the FSX.cfg file. Here is what it says: <?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 Let me know if you need any other info Mark T Chicago

Pete, I did uninstall FScopilot and it removed the addon menu to FSX there was no FSUIPC shown in FS. Can you tell me where I can view the logs? Mark T

Peter, I see the addon menu at the top of flight sim. I have FSCopilot there but no FSUIPC. The install of FSUIPC did report ok, I do have a modules folder inside FSX now, but the modules dll is version 4.0.1.5. I have tried the V4.2 again but it is not showing. Any more thoughts? Thanks Mark T

Peter, one more thing. I see the addon menu at the top of flight sim. I have FSCopilot there but no FSUIPC. The install of FSUIPC did report ok, I do have a modules folder inside FSX now, but the modules dll is version 4.0.1.5. I have tried the V4.2 again but it is not showing. Any more thoughts? Thanks Mark T

Ok here is what I found out from Microsoft Tech Support Under C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS there is the x86_SimConnect folder, it should have the simConnect.dll file in it. Under C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\Manifest- There should be a simconnect mainfest file and a security catalog file. Both of these have to be renamed to x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9. This is the product ID number. It took 2 hours but I finally have it working now, thank you for all of the guidance you gave me, at first he had no idea what I was talking about but persistance pays LOL. BTW all three of these files can be found on the FSX install disk one. If you find anyone that did not get it installed properly. For some reason it did not automatically install for me. Thanks Again Mark T Chicago

Pete, I went home for lunch, here is what I found: There are 3 SimConnect files on the FSX disk one. SimConnect.dll SimConnect.dll manifest file Some type if SimConnect exe log file. I copied the SimConnect.dll file and pasted it into the Windows\Winsxs folder (the one that was empty) I copied the manifest file into the same Winsxs folder. Did not work. I then tried the mainfest file into the Winsxs\manifest folder Did not work. I guess I will try another reinstall when I get home. Mark T

They were not the same name but they caught my eye as simconnect files. Mark T I will keep you posted

Yes, I did an explore of disk one and there are 2 simconnect files (.dll) there. I am at work right now. I will drag them into the empty folder later and let you know if it works. Thanks for the advice. Mark T

Can I copy the SimConnect dll files from the FSX DVD and just paste them into the empty folder? Is it that simple? Mark T

Peter, I did the reinstall of FSX. I find the SimConnect folder now in: C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9 There is nothing inside of it I still cannot get FSUIPC to install. Thanks Mark T

Thanks for the response, I will try the uninstall method and let you know. Mark T

sorry the SimConnect version numer is 10.0.60905.0 Mark T

Peter, It is version 4.02. I did have the Beta version installed a few weeks ago. I installed FSX last week and all the addons were working fine. I was experiencing horrible frame rates so I did a reformat of my hard drive and started over again. The Flight Sim X runs ok now and frame rates are great. I did find the SimConnect.dll file in my: Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X file Yes, by add on I mean at the top of the Flight simX menu header next to help.. Mark T

I have reviewed all of the latest stickys and some of the posts regarding this subject. I still cannot get the FSUIPC 4.0 file to install. I keep getting that error meassage telling me to execute the simconnect.msi file. I just did a reformat of drive C the other day and am starting out fresh. I have FSX installed. I do not have any other firewalls installed and I have disabled the windows firewall. I cannot see the add on file at the top of FS, I did install FSinn and Copilot too. Any thoughts? Thanks Mark T

Ok I am sorry about the confusion, I picked up a copy yesterday in Chicago. I will wait! Mark T

Peter, I am installing version 4 for FSX. After I click the run button I get a dialog box asking where my FSX.exe is located. I navigate over to MSgames/Flight Simnulator X and select the FSX.exe icon, but after that I get a message that my FSX installaton is not suitable for this version of FSUIPC. You may need to install an update from Microsoft? Any ideas. Thanks Mark T Chicago

That did the trick! Thanks for the fast reply. Mark T

Peter, I recently reinstalled FS and FSUIPC. I purchased and registered the FSUIPC product. I reinstalled squawkbox 3. I am now getting an error message upon FS startup. Squawkbox module was unable to start because FSUIPC could not be initialized. Ensure FSUIPC is properly installed and restart F to try again. Any thoughts? Thanks in Advance Mark T Chicago
