FSUIPC4 was working, Now its gone?

[Ray Proctor]

Can I get help with this problem? FSUIPC was there, now its gone!

I had FSUIPC (Registered) installed and working in FX. I just installed

"My Traffic X". Now FSUIPC is gone and when I try to reinstall I get this message "Cannot place FSUIPC4.DLL into the FX/Modules folder. The error reported my windows is "Access Denied"

On the FX menu bar I have "Tools" for my traffic but nothing else??

Thanks :?:

Hi Ray,

Read the post probably right below this one regarding FSUIPC and GoFlight.

Sounds like we are having similar problems. Pete suggested I install latest FSUIPC, 4.26.

Thank for the reply..The problem is that windows will not let me install

FSUIPC? I have goflight and Traffic X installed. When I try to reinstall

FSUIPC I get a access denied. I have turned the firewall off. I still has

the logs and manual in the mod folder but no FSUIPC.DLL.

I hope MS looks at this whole issue soon because somethings not right!!

What version are you trying to install?

Pete, Thanks for answering..........

I have a registered 4.02 installed. It disappeared when I installed either

goflight or Traffic X. I am now trying to put 4.026 back in but keep

getting the "Access Denied error", I also noticed that when I go to the FSX.cfg folder I have a xml document for Goflight and Traffic X but none

( If there is one that needs to go there ) for FSUIPC4

You didn't follow some advice to COPY over the existing DLL.XML file with another, surely? :-(

The FSUIPC Install program carefully edits an existing DLL.XML file to insert the correct lines to get it loading by SimConnect. From what I've seen so far precious few other software publishers are bothering to be so considerate. Chaos is inevitable. :-(

I am now trying to put 4.026 back in but keep getting the "Access Denied error"

What is the exact message? In version 4.026 Installer I deliberately make the Modules folder read/write accessible and also unprotect any of the files FSUIPC4 needs to install. I simply cannot understand how any file can become "Access Denied" -- unless FSX is actually still running. Do CTRL_ALT_DEL and see if FSX.EXE is present in the Process list. Maybe one of the add-ins you are using is not terminating. Kill the process (button bottom right).

I also noticed that when I go to the FSX.cfg folder I have a xml document for Goflight and Traffic X but none

( If there is one that needs to go there ) for FSUIPC4

There are never separate "documents". All of the DLLs to be loaded by SimConnect are detailed in DLL.XML and all of the EXEs are detailed in EXE.DLL. There are no other files relevant to this business.

Sorry Pete, I have been around computer and FS for 20 years but still dont quite understand them Anyway I have done a complete reinstall of FSX and I have reinstalled FSUIPC4. I went and looked at the dLL file and can see now what I did, The doc's with Traffic X say to copy a file called DLL.XML to the FSX folder where the fs.conf is, I did just that and copied

the original over and that's how things got messed up. The only infomation in the files was about traffic X, everything else was gone.

It seems I need to edit the infomation in the DLL and add the info about Traffic X. Not sure if I want to try that?? nor do I know how to do it!!

I might be trying some of these addon too quickly. Maybe I need to wait until they get some of the bugs out. I seems that the Traffic x program should have been able to modify the dll.xmi file on it own but not yet..

Sorry to bother you with this and thanks for helping..

I have got everything working,,The problem was "Pilot Error"

The doc that comes with TrafficX are really bad..I went to their Forum and got clear directions as to how to edit the DLL file.

To late to fly today but I will give it a try tomorrow !!

Again a BIG Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !!
