SG-19

Hello again it's taken me awhile but I got my problem fixed. What I was advised to do, by an I.T Tech at my local RAF base Which is just next door was this... Rename the Flight Simulator 9, folder as something else ie xxx FS9 xxx, then install from the original disc's FS9 as normal, then start the renamed xxx FS9 xxx, and then shut it down, Then delete not uninstall all the files and folders of the new install of FS9. Then rename xxx FS9 xxx to its original Flight Simulator 9 and run the new FSUIPC installer. Just like magic it installed first time no issue's and i'm up and flying. Thanks again for your earlier help, and I hope this info may of help to yourself and others. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

OK then, I've made a search and can find no other FS9.EXE anywhere else. I also was not aware of the FS9.1 Update so any info on how to obtain it would be a great help thanks. Incidently the FS9 install was direct from an external drive removed from my dead computer onto a new system, and not from the original disc's. Maybe I should at this stage bite the bullet and do a complete reinstall from the disc's and have the fun of reinstalling all my aircraft and scenery from scratch. :cry:

My mistake got the installers mixed up. this is what i'm getting when I run the FSUIPC 3.999z2 installer.... Installer for FSUIPC.DLL version 3.999z2 Looking in registry for FS9.1 install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.1 Parameter"EXE Path" Not there, so looking in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.1 Parameter"EXE Path" ... NOT found! ... Looking in registry for FS9 install path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0 Parameter"EXE Path" ... >>> OK! FOUND FS9! <<< ... =========================================================== INSTALLATION FOR FS9: EXE Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games" Checking if there's already a version of FSUIPC installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL ... No previous valid version found. Failed to place FSUIPC.DLL into folder as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL" Error 3 reported ("The system cannot find the path specified.")........I've tried registry repair but this hasn't helped me. Would a complete reinstall be the answer. :oops: Thanks for the help so far.

I start running the registry repair tool, it opens a window and prompts me to locate the FS9.EXE, I find this and high lite it and click open. Another window opens with the following text. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\ successfully added to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0\EXE Path! . I then click OK and the windows close with no other information. Confuses me somewhat to say the least, I must be doing some thing wrong.

Ok Pete, not sure where to find the install log, so if you could guide me i'll dig it out asap and get back to you. Many Thanks.

Hi folks i'm having the same error message as Biffer, however my FS9 is in the c drive after being moved there after my old computers motherboard fried, luck had it that the drive was undamaged and my FS9 files could be transferred. I have tried the registry repair tool but still get the same error message. Any idea's on what I might be doing wrong.
