Can´t install FSUIPC 4 for FSX

[MoLeFiGhtEr]

Hi everyone,

I run Flight Simulator X (not the Deluxe, the Normal Version). After installing SP2 I got a lot of errors. I uninstalled SP2 but my FSX dind´t work properly anymore so i decided to reinstall my FSX. I uninstalled SP2 first and then FSX and installed FSX again, run SP1 and tried to install FSUIPC.

But then a error occured and this error log was created:

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="C:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\"

Checking version of FSX.EXE:

... Version 10.0.61355.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0)

Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:

... Probe Manifest fails to match a valid base SimConnect needed to load FSUIPC4!

Found later build SimConnect 61242 (SP1 May07)

I tried to reinstall SimConnect with the tricks posted in another thread in this forum but it didn´t work, reinstalling FSX and then installing FSUIPC before SP1 didn´t work either.

My question is:

Is there a solution to install FSUIPC without setting up whole new system including formating HDD and installing Windows XP again?

I hope for quick answers.

Regards,

MoLe

P.S.:

My system:

CPU: AMD Opteron 170

Mainboard: DFI UT NF4 Ultra-D

RAM: 2Gb DDR400 Infineon CE-5

OS: Windows XP Professional (w/ SP2)

Uninstalling FSX, removing the SimConnect folders as described in the FSX Help Announcement, then re-installing everything should work fine. I don't know of any case where this has not worked, especially on WinXP. Try testing things after re-installing FSX but before installing SP1 just in case it is some sort of corruption on your copy of the SP1 update.

Happy New Year!
