oldemor Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi Pete I have now used so much time to get FSUIPC4 working in my FSX, so I'm nearly giving up. I have the same problem as a lot of other FSX-er, that ADD-ON is'nt showing up in the menu line in top of FSX. Tried everything, turned firewall off, clean start-up, use lot of time reading fora. Something is wrong with the simconnect I believe. There is a thing though, do I have to install the SDK part of Microsoft Flightsimulator FSX from the cd-rom, to have simconnect working? I show you some logs, that maybe is usefull. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.20 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="" User Addr="" FSUIPC4 not user registered WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired

Pete Dowson Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 There is a thing though, do I have to install the SDK part of Microsoft Flightsimulator FSX from the cd-rom, to have simconnect working? No, not at all. That just complicates matters. If you don't need it, don't install it. 10685 Exception 5 "VERSION_MISMATCH", Ref 0, Version 0.60905: Open: SimConnect Version incorrect! 10685 Trying another version of SimConnect ... 10795 Now running with SimConnect Original 10795 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 10795 Exception 5 "VERSION_MISMATCH", Ref 0, Version 0.60905: Open: SimConnect Version incorrect! What appears to be the problem is that you have the SP1 update installed, but the SimConnect for it is wrong. The base version of SimConnect is okay (it is that which is loading FSUIPC), but FSX doesn't want to use it as it believes the SP1 version is there. C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.61242.0_x-ww_35e8ee9a The version of the DLL in that second folder should match the version number on FSX.EXE. I think you have a mis-installed SP1 update. You need to try uninstalling SP1, checking again, and if things are then okay, re-install SP1. There is a possibility that this process won't actually re-construct the WinSxS stuff, so after doing it if it still doesn't work, i think you'll have to try deleting that second folder, above, and repeating the uninstall/re-install process. Please do send a note to tell_fs@microsoft.com about all this. I want to make sure they fully realise the extent of the problems their installation process creates. No doubt a lot of this is to do with windows rather than FS directly (Windows is responsible for the WinSxS system), but I think the FS team need to attend to it. The SP2 or Acceleration update avoids problems with firewalls for local use of SimConnect, and the installation process should have been improved too. Acceleration doesn't need SP1 (it will install it if it isn't there), but SP2 needs a good FSX + SP1 to start with. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldemor Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Pete Thank you for the quick reply. I have checked the version number on the second folder and it matches the versionnumber on my FSX.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have checked the version number on the second folder and it matches the versionnumber on my FSX.exe Okay. there is one other possibility. The error can also be caused by having a SimConnect.dll (or a file ending with that name) in the FSX Modules folder or FSX main folder, or anywhere associated with other programs you use with SimConnect. Check for this and delete any such copies. Failing that I can only suggest going ahead with the reinstall or delete and reinstall of SP1. The repair suggested in my FSX Help announcement may help, though if FSUIPC4 is actually getting loaded it would seem that the base version of SimConnect is okay.

oldemor Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Pete I have now tried to uninstall SP1, and when starting up FSX i suddenly had the Add-on my menu. ThenI re-installed SP1 and Add-on was gone. I then, as you suggested, deleted the second folder, uninstalled/reinstall and unfortunately the add-on was missing. So for now I will use FSX without SP1. It's a shame, but thats life. I'm disappointed to have use money on FSX, and then it don't work proporly, so I have to use my good and old FS2002. I have sent a mail to Microsoft about my problem and my disappointment over there product. Regards Keld Mogensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have now tried to uninstall SP1, and when starting up FSX i suddenly had the Add-on my menu. ThenI re-installed SP1 and Add-on was gone. Very strange! That's a new one on me! I really don't know what to suggest. It sounds like your copy of SP1 may be broken in some way. Maybe downloading a fresh copy would do the trick? Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldemor Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Have tried a fresh new download of SP1, had the same thought.But no, it didn't work either. Regards Keld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldemor Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Pete I have solved the problem now. The reason off the problem was a bad installation of FSX. You realy have to be carefull, when you install FSX in an another place, than surgested when you install FSX. Keld Mogensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
