FS2004, Vista and FSUIPC

[TommiA]

Hi,

I have installed the following on a Vista Home Basic machine:

FS2004

FSUIPC 3.817 (registered)

Project Magenta Boeing glass

All sw installed normally and FSUIPC registration was ok.

But.. the IPC communication does not operate normally. If I check settings in PM nav display ctrl_O window, I see:

FS running

netdir (no data)

connected widefs (I have not installed widefs)

fsuipc 0.000

If I run PM version checker I get:

pmFileCheck Build 40

Opening Connections

Local Path: C:\Users\Tommi\Desktop\Project Magenta

Checking Computer and User Name

Local Computer Name: HP6715S

Local User Name: Tommi

FSUIPC/WideFS found!

FSUIPC No Version number Reported! Please Check FSUIPC Installation

No data from Flight Simulator, FS doesn't appear to be running!

Closing Everything

Things To Do:

* Check FSUIPC Installation (Version is 0)

* Run Flight Simulator

If you wish to, please check http://www.projectmagenta.com/notams.html

Any ideas?

wbr,

Tommi

If you've not installed WideFS how do you expect it to see it?

Any ideas?

No, none at all, because any answers will be in the FSUIPC or WideFS logs. I cannot answer questions on Project Magenta! Sorry. If you want to use PM checking programs and seek answers just from those you have to ask PM support, not FSUIPC support.

Show me the FSUIPC Log file -- from a complete attempt, after you've closed FS. If you've not installed WideFS do not try to run PM modules on Networked PCs, only the FS PC.

Oh, one other thing. If you are trying to run FS in elevated Administrator mode (i.e. "run as administrator"), don't -- only do this to Register. If you really have to run it that way (ugh!) then EVERY other add-on you run which needs access to FS via FSUIPC needs also the same privilege levels, because Vista will otherwise prevent them sharing any data.

Well, I did not install but Pm saw it anyhow, for some reson..

It's running on a single machine.

This was the problem. It's working now ok. Thank you!
