Major pb with AS2004 b175 and FSUIP: Fs always disconnected

[Emeraldbird1]

Dear Pete,

I am new on this forum and first of all, thanks for the great job you have done for your excellent modules.

I have a registered version of FSUIPC (3.47) that work fine and I just bought AS2004 and unfortunately it doesn't realize that FS is running (no connection). The only way I find to get it work is to deletethe FSUPIC key file which of course now makes my FSUPIC unregistered.

I tried 3.44, 3.45, 3.47 without success. I am now at the office, so I cannot send you the log, but I will send it when at home.

I also created a post at AVSIM forum yuo can find here for details :

There's probably something wrong with the user Key, then. The checking of user keys was tightened up some time ago. So far, all the cases where a program has worked with FSUIPC non-user registered but not registered have turned out to be due to bad user keys. I can check yours here. Rather than send me the log, please just Zip up your normal FSUIPC.KEY file and send it to me at petedowson@btconnect.com.

Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete,

Finally, I think I find the problem, after trying and testing again, may be this is a coincidence, but now everything does work:

In fact, two days ago, I desactivated the antivirus, but not my firewall when installing AS2004.

So, yesterday before sending you the FSUIPC reg file, I decided to re-install first FSUIPC, then AS2004 with the firewall off.

In consequence, unlike before, when intalling AS2004, new installation windows (with repair, modify an remove options) appeared. And then the version of AS2004 (B175) is now properly shown.

I cannot explain this "miracle" :lol: ! Do you think it is a FSUIPC related problem or AS2004 installation bugs ?

Anyway, thanks for your support

Sorry, but with so little information to go on I really have no idea. I have heard of cases where assorted other processes installed and running in Windows (especially XP) can create strange effects in FS + Add-ons, but your original description didn't sound like one I'd heard of before. It only sounded like a Key problem.

Regards,

Pete
