FS-Interrogate with unregistered FSUIPC 4.20

[Kriekaardjj]

Hi Pete,

I consider to purchase a license for FSUIPC4.

In advance I downloaded FSUIPC SDK 28th Release and tried to run FS-Interrogate2std.exe and compiled the UIPC_SDK_CSHARP project.

With FSX running (having an unregistered FSUIPC version 4.2 active) FS-Interrogate2std couldn't connect to FSX.

Is this due to that fact that you must have a registered FSUIPC4 version running in order to get connected or should it also do with unregistered versions?

Kind regards,

Sjaak

Check the FSUIPC4.LOG file in the FSX Modules folder -- that sounds like a SimConnect problem. Was there an Add-Ons menu with FSUIPC listed?

Is this due to that fact that you must have a registered FSUIPC4 version running in order to get connected or should it also do with unregistered versions?

No. User registration is totally irrelevant, unless either the signature on the DLL is incorrect or an invalid (pirate) Key is being used.

It sounds more like a SimConnect installation problem.

Good. So will FSInterrogate then. It communicates even more reliably.

Hi Pete,

I have it running now!

I stupidly forgot to run FS-interrogate in administrator mode.

Also the .Net sample project now runs fine.

Best regards,

Why would they need Administrator mode? I only have one Vista system here at present and don't need Administrator mode unless I want to change system folders (or Register FSUIPC/WideFS).

It is because you installed them into "Program files", which Vista protects even against programs installed there?

In order to get my TrackIR4 operational within FSX and also get connected to FlightSim Commander I had to run them in administrator mode. I tried several options but this configuration works fine.
