Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.20

Looking in registry for FSX install path:

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

Parameter"SetupPath"

SetupPath="D:\FlightSimulator X\"

Checking version of FSX.EXE:

... Version 10.0.61637.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0)

Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:

... Okay, Probe Manifest matches installed SimConnect 60905 (Original)

Found later build SimConnect 61242 (SP1 May07)

Found later build SimConnect 61259 (Acc/SP2 Oct07)

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

D:\FlightSimulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL

... No previous valid version found.

FSX Modules folder already exists.

Okay -- installed FSUIPC4 into "D:\FlightSimulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL"

Hello, i can´t see any " add on" menue when i press ALT.

Vista 64

When you press ALT in normal flight mode, do you see any menu at all? the "Add-Ons" entry is only the last (right-most) one -- it is added by SimConnect when any add-on is loaded and run.

Is there an FSUIPC4.LOG file in the Modules folder. If not then FSUIPC4 isn't even being loaded. If so, look at it, see if it reports a SimConnect problem.

For SimConnect problems see the FSX Help announcement above.

Regards

Pete

[GreatGameKiller]

First i want to say Thank you for your fast reply.

When i press ALT i can see the menu ( Datei, Sichten etc Germany.) but there is no ADD ON!

I used your Software in an older Version with FS 2002 and it runs great. So i kown where i have to look for the menu.

In the Modules folder isnt a FSUIPC4.LOG ! Only the "Install Log" which i posted before is there.

Thank you

[Pete Dowson]

In the Modules folder isnt a FSUIPC4.LOG ! Only the "Install Log" which i posted before is there.

In that case one of three things is happening:

1. The DLL.XML file is incorrect and preventing SimConnect loading FSUIPC. Re-installing FSUIPC4 should fix that, but if not you might need to find it (it is in C:\Users\GreatGameKiller\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG) and delete it, then re-run the Installer.

2. SimConnect is broken. See the FSX Help announcement and get a SimConnect log, see if that tells us why.

3. There is a Simconnect.dll file in the modules folder or with some other add-on you have enabled. The only Simconnect.DLL files in use should be those in the WinSxS folders in Windows.

Regards

Pete

i have try the Simconnect Log first. All other in the next days, thanks

The "next days" means December 4th earliest for me, as after this message I'm away till then.

Is that it? No more lines?

If so, it is not loading any DLLs or any EXE programs at all. You either have a screwed up DLL.XML file, or none at all. However, the FSUIPC4 install log does show this okay:

Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Users\GreatGameKiller\AppData\Roaming\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

You are running FSX under logon name "GreatGameKiller", aren't you?

Have you installed other add-ons? Have you edited the DLL.XML file? That is the file which tells SimConnect what DLLs to load. FSUIPC4 is not being loaded, so it cannot do anything.

Hi,

i try the Simconect Log again and it shows something more, BUT only if i use Aircrafts from the Acc. Pack.

With all other Aircrafts it shows only 4 Line.??

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

Launch

dll.xml

False

FSUIPC 4

False

Modules\FSUIPC4.dll

On weekend i make a complete new Installation. Vista Home Premium X64, Drivers, all windows updates, FSX, FSX SP1, ACC Pack, FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.20......but still the same Problem!

Whats going on?

Greetings from Germany

[Thomas Richter]

yes, i run the game and the installer as Admin ( Greatgamekiller).

Hi

Hast du die FSUIPC Installation und anschließende Registrierung als Administrator ausgeführt oder lediglich mit der Anmeldung als Administrator ?

[GreatGameKiller]

Na Nu Deutsch? Ich habe nur ein Benutzerkonto und da bin ich Admin. Habe aber zusätzlich mit Rechtklick auf die EXE "Als Admin ausführen" geklickt.

Es ist so das im Simconnect Log etwas zu sehen ist, aber nur bei Flugzeugen aus dem Acceleration Pack. Bei allen Standart Flugzeugen bleibt der LOG bis auf die ersten 4 Zeilen leer. Ein "ADD ON" Eintrag in der Menüleiste erscheint in beiden Fällen nicht!

Danke für Deine Hilfe

[Thomas Richter]

Ich habe ebenfalls nur eine Konto, zwangsläufig als Admin.

- Installation von FSUIPC mit Rechts-Click als Administrator ausführen

- FSX ebenfalls mit Rechts-Click as Administrator ausführen

- Ausführung von FSUIPC zulassen / bestätigen

- FSUIPC registrieren

Hat bisher auf allen Systemen so funktioniert, ohne Probleme sowohl Vista als auch XP Pro.

Falls es nicht funktioniert ist ein Fehler bereits bei der Installation von FSX entstanden den der FSUIPC Installer nicht kompensieren kann.

Ich habe gerade gestern noch eine Neuinstallation von FSX + SP1 gemacht und wie oben beschrieben FSUIPC installiert. Danach die erste SP2-Beta installiert und alles läuft ohne Probleme.

[GreatGameKiller]

Möglicherweise ist die Reihenfolge das Problem. Ich habe erst den FSX+Sp1+Accelaration installiert und dann FSUIPC 4.2.

Probier ich mal aus. Gruß GGK

[GreatGameKiller]

!!Ja, es liegt an der Reihenfolge!!! Erst den FSX + SP1 +FSUIPC +ACC fertig.

Danke für die Hilfe.

Yes it´s work, but you need the right order. First FSX then SP1 + FSUIPC then ACC PACK.

If i do so, it works fine.

Thank you for your Support.

[Pete Dowson]

yes, i run the game and the installer as Admin ( Greatgamekiller).

Don't do that. The only time you need to "Run Asadministrator" is when registering FSUIPC in FSX. The installer does not need it, and FSX does not either.

I'm afraid this must be some bug in FSX SimConnect under Vista 64 as I cannot see any other cause for the problems. Please submit all the details to tell_fs@microsoft.com. I suspect not very many folks are using 64-bit Vista (too many other problems with it I fear), and it may not have had all the testing it needed.

Im running FSX and Vista x64 and no other poblems then the 'usual'

The order of the statement in your DLL.XML is very important

FSCopilot always last / or it will crash everything / and even then often problems, fortunately when exiting FSX (bad unload fscopilot.dll)

and

FSUIPC I do before last

and planes in between (levelD, PIC 737, PDMG)

also

I had BIG problems with crashes and then I used XmlShell (freeware XML file syntax checker)

You can NOT see the difference, but when I wrote dll.xml back after chk by XmlShell (most often just rearranges tab stops)

the crashes DISAPPEARED

so there must be some sort of UNIX / MSDOS / Windows end-of-file and tab code number mixup, and its invisible, but it DID crash my FSX

my 5cts

(also I have Defender Stopped and DFS replication service (makes your x64 network SLOOOOW) and Index service and UAC)

Bytheway this concerns "x64 Compiled Addons" (that exist probably far and few between) and is a remark aimed at new software developers, and has nothing to do with any addon that has the 'normal' x86 footprint, developed on a regular x86 workstation.
