FSX no FSUIPC4 in Addon Menu

[Silverfox]

Hi Peter and all,

Sorry to trouble but cannot solve this issue.

I have had to reinstall FSX + Acceleration and Vista 64 home prior to reinstall all worked well but developed an FSX lockup hence the reinstall to solve problem.

Having reformatted drives C: System E: FSX, installed Vista, FSX Deluxe, SDK1, SDK1a, Acceleration, SDK Acceleration running the ConfigSDK. Defragging between installs.

I have no Addon in FSX Menu. Simconnect appears to work as Active Sky X works on second PC and updates FSX. WideClient, a fresh install does not connect.

From:- SimConnect.cfg in Flightsim Documents folder, (yes to watch console).

From FSX\Modules folder:

INSTALL File:

Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.30

Looking in registry for FSX install path:

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

Parameter"SetupPath"

SetupPath="E:\FSX\"

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:

E:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL

... No previous valid version found.

FSX Modules folder already exists.

Okay -- installed FSUIPC4 into "E:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.DLL"

Looking for the current user's Application Data path:

... found as "C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming"

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

Looking in "C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming"

Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Users\David\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

Now checking for a SimConnect.XML file ...

... There is a SimConnect.XML, checking for "local" section.

... "local" section already exists, file not modified.

Followed your post:- viewtopic.php?f=54&t=58095#p358972

deleting the 3 folders in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS ran the repair for FSX and Acceleration and they have not returned which I think is the problem, but Simconnect works but not FSUIPC4.

think I have included all any advise / help welcome as hope it is something simply which I have overlooked rather than another reinstall,

regards Dave

[Pete Dowson]

I have had to reinstall FSX + Acceleration and Vista 64 home prior to reinstall all worked well but developed an FSX lockup hence the reinstall to solve problem.

Unfortunately, judging by the reports here and elsewhere, reinstalling FSX seems to be a cause of many SimConnect problems. I think one of the reasons is that SimConnect libraries are NOT uninstalled when you uninstall FSX, so don't get re-installed later. Ugh.

Having reformatted drives C: System E: FSX, installed Vista, FSX Deluxe, SDK1, SDK1a, Acceleration, SDK Acceleration running the ConfigSDK. Defragging between installs.

Ah, you did a complete SYSTEM re-install. In that case ignore what I just said. Everything should work fine in that case.

I have no Addon in FSX Menu. Simconnect appears to work as Active Sky X works on second PC and updates FSX.

Is FSUIPC4 actually loaded at all? You can tell by whether it generates an FSUIPC4.LOG file -- if there's no loag file then it isn't being loaded by SimConnect.

You provided loads of files, but no actual FSUIPC4 log, so I assume it isn't there?

Your SimConnect logs don't extend far enough to see it loading any DLLs at all. Are there no other lines beyond the initialisation of the assorted Server ports?

deleting the 3 folders in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS ran the repair for FSX and Acceleration and they have not returned which I think is the problem, but Simconnect works but not FSUIPC4.

And did you do this AFTER getting all the Logs and so on above?

Judging by the FSUIPC4 install log, there was nothing wrong with your SimConnect installation, so you've probably now messed it up completely. If you've deleted the folders and they don't come back on FSX reinstall followed by Acceleration, then you'll need to contact Microsoft support. It isn't a good idea to mess with these things unless it is really necessary.

When you say "SimConnect works" you mean from a client PC, running ASX, not locally? Without those WinSxS folders intact no local SimConnect applications such as FSUIPC4 can run.

Judging by the two [Trusted] entries for FSUIPC4 in your FSX.CFG file, you certainly have had FSUIPC4 loading since you formatted and reinstalled FSX, so it looks like this is now lost information. You need to get SimConnect working enough to actually run local SimConnect applications, including FSUIPC4, before we can then look and see why there's no Add-Ons menu being produced.

Regards

Pete

[Silverfox]

Thanks for prompt reply Peter,

I have decided to reinstall FSX again, install FSUIPC4 before Acceleration and check.

Will advise how I get on,

regards Dave
