FSUIPC Connecting Problem

[Visvate]

I want to develop something connected to FS via FSUIPC. At this time I know a little for programming(only some of VB)and won't have time to study until several months later. It seems that FSInterrogate is useful and maybe not too hard for me, Now I'm trying to do something basic first, however a problem arised at the very beginning. That is, when I launch FS2004 with fsuipc 3.85 and FSInterrogate on the same computer, FSI doesn't connect to fsuipc at all. The sample program for vb doesn't connect to it, either. There being the item "fsuipc" in the FS menu, I'm sure it is installed indeed. And what is "privilege levels "? I can't understand because of my bad English.

Now I just want to get some data in VB such as attitude and speed, will it be too much beyond my capabel now? Many thanks.

If you have FS set to run "as administrator" and then run FSUIPC applications as a normal user or ordinary administrator, Wndows (especially Vista) actually prevents FS and the other program exchanging data. If you run one side "as administator" then you must do the same with the others. These are different levels of privilege -- different access capabilities.

There is nothing else I'm aware of which could stop a connection completely. However, if the code signature of the FSUIPC.DLL module is failing to check, it will cause incorrect values to be sent to client programs and they may not like that.

Find the FSUIPC.LOG file, in the FS Modules folder, and show it to me.

I'm using winxp, and at all time I login as administrator. And my system only has an "administrator", no any other users and the "guest" is disabled. So I really have no idea.

Here's the fsuipc.log shows.

No no. the privilege level differences are between "administrator" and "elevated administrator".

When did you purchase your registration? There appears to be no record of this name.

I suspect the registration code you have is invalid. Delete the FSUIPC.KEY file from the FS modules folder and i think you'll find everything works. Please confirm.
