  1. FSUIPC 4.938 available now for FSX Steam Edition!

    Well FSX wasn't sufficiently uninstalled to make it look like it wasn't there, and your SE installation is the same as it would have been if FSX was still installed (for instance it uses an FSX_SE.CFG file instead of FSX.CFG, and stores its flights in the Steam section of your Documents folder).

     

    Look, it is obvious from the log:

     

    Looking in registry for FSX install path:

         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0

         Parameter"SetupPath"

    ... >>>  OK! FOUND FSX!  <<< ...

         SetupPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX

    Looking in registry for FSX-SE install path:

         HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0

         Parameter"AppPath"

    ... >>>  OK! FOUND FSX-SE!  <<< ...

         AppPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\

     

    See? The Registry has entries for both FSX and FSX-SE, but they now both point to SE!

     

    Further down you will see that FSUIPC installed for FSX first, then FSX-SE. The FSX install failed because it couldn't locate FSX.CFG file -- that is where your error comes from. The FSX-SE install was perfectly successful and would have certainly been reported as such. So why not believe it? Why do you doubt?

     

    If you don't want the spurious error and extra installation for FSX, you'd need to delete the Registry entry saying FSX is installed. i.e.the keys here:

     

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0

     

    In the next version of the Installer I'll try to suppress the error when it sees both paths point to the same place.

    Thanks for your help!!!

    You'll need to show me the FSUIPC4 Install log, placed in your FSX-SE Modules folder.

     

    One thing I don't understand. you say

     

    " I am running FSX SE alone (no FSX)."

     

    but then shortly after

     

    " I went back and ran FSX".

     

    FSX? Or FSX-SE?

     

    I suspect, but I can't confirm without seeing the Install log, that you have a Registry entry for FSX and for FSX-SE. Did you first install FSX-SE before uninstalling FSX? If the registry entries say both are installed but one isn't really there, you'll get this spurious error because the Installer is trying to set both of them up. It won't do any harm (at least to FSUIPC), but can then only be corrected by removing the incorrect Registry entries.

     

    I could tell you a lot more with the Log (which is why the log is produced, incidentally!)

    Sorry for the confusion, I am running FSX-SE.  FSX was installed but uninstalled before I loaded FSX-SE.  Here is the install log

    Not sure what II am doing wrong.  I am running FSX SE alone (no FSX).  I am trying to install FSUIPC4 ver 4.938f and after installation I get the following message: FSUIPC4.dll version 4.938f installed into FSX!  But it may not run because it is not included in the DLL.XML file.  Please rerun this installer afer running FSX."  I went back and ran FSX which loaded and ran fine - then went back to re install FSUIPC and go the same message.  Did this a couple of times and alwarys get the same message.  Not sure what to do.
