Hi

Just like GEEZO I also get this fault even after disconnecting XP firewall. My install log indicates no problem and I am not savvy enough to understand the workings of simconnect.

Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.10

Looking in registry for FSX install path:

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

Parameter"SetupPath"

SetupPath="D:\Flight Sim x\"

Checking version of FSX.EXE:

... Version 10.0.61355.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0)

Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:

... Okay, Probe Manifest matches installed SimConnect SP1 May07

Checking if there's already a version of FSUIPC4 installed in:

D:\Flight Sim x\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL

... No previous valid version found.

FSX Modules folder already exists.

Okay -- installed FSUIPC4 into "D:\Flight Sim x\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL"

Looking for the current user's Application Data path:

... found as "C:\Documents and Settings\kenneth\Application Data"

Now finding \Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG for all users, including this one

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User.WINDOWS\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\kennelly\Application Data"

Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Documents and Settings\kennelly\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG"!

Now checking DLL.XML ...

... There is a previous DLL.XML, checking for FSUIPC4 section.

... FSUIPC4 section already exists but will be replaced.

... FSUIPC4 section of DLL.XML written okay

Now checking for a SimConnect.XML file ...

... No SimConnect.XML file found. This is okay.

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\kenneth\Application Data"

Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Documents and Settings\kenneth\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG"!

Now checking DLL.XML ...

... There is a previous DLL.XML, checking for FSUIPC4 section.

... FSUIPC4 section already exists but will be replaced.

... FSUIPC4 section of DLL.XML written okay

Now checking for a SimConnect.XML file ...

... No SimConnect.XML file found. This is okay.

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService.NT AUTHORITY\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Looking in "C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY\Application Data"

No FSX.CFG there

Now installing additional files into the Modules folder:

Installed "FSUIPC4 User Guide.pdf" okay

Installed "FSUIPC4 for Advanced Users.pdf" okay

Installed "FSUIPC4 History.pdf" okay

Installed "List of FSX controls.pdf" okay

All installer tasks completed okay!

Hope you can solve it Peter since FSX and Flightsim Commander are severely impaired at present.

Regards

First try the 4.104 version which is available by following the link in the "FSX Downloads and Updates [21st may 2007]" posting.

Next, as your last log was just the FSUIPC4 install log, which tells you nothing about what happens when FSUIPC4 tries to run in FSX, you'll need to supply details from the FSUIPC4.log file if the issue is not resolved by the 4.104 install (found in the Modules folder alongside the FSUIPC4.DLL itself).

Thank you Jeff for your help Jeff. I installed the 04 version but still no addons tab!. I have NO fsuipc.log file, the only log file is the install one!

Hope you can suggest further help.

Thanks again

Also Jeff I read many messages on this forum referring to simconnect.ini which seems to bear on this problem BUT I cannot find a simconnect.ini on my system!

[kennelly]

OK Jeff I read and effected all the stuff relevant in the announcements at the forum start and now I have the addon tab. Now to check and reinstall my FSCommander etc.

Thanks again.
