EW321, What you say makes sense to someone who has a comfortable familiarity with WideFS. Nonetheless, I will not be the last person to make this mistake. One sentence in the "On Each Client PC" section stating "Registration of WideFS software takes place on the server computer, not the client computers," would have removed all confusion for me. When it comes to creating instructions, comments from newbies are typically quite useful for creating user-friendly documentation.

I have figured out what I was doing wrong with registering wideclient. I assumed that the registration process had to take place on the client computer itself, not on the server computer. Of course the FSUIPC software is registered on the server computer and I understood that the fsuipc installation process includes an opportunity to register FSUIPC, wideclient, or both, but I did not suspect that we do the wideclient registration (for the client computer) on the server computer itself. Upon rereading the installation instructions, I see that registering of WideFS7 takes place under the "On the Flight Simulator PC" section of the instructions. Nonetheless, it is so strange to me to register the software for one computer on another computer that I didn't make the connection that the event took place on the server computer.

I wish to register wideclient on the computer that is not running Prepar3d. I see that the registration process takes place when fsuipc is installed, however. Do I have to install fsuipc in order to register wideclient? If I do need to install fsuipc to register wideclient on my secondary computer, do I need to first install Prepar3d 2.2 on that computer? It won't install because of a lack of DirectX 11 video card. Please point me in the right direction.
