FSUICP is not recognised by IVAP nor Squawkbox FS Inn.

[fadje]

Dear flight simmers,

can someone please help me with following problem?

in FS9 i see the fsuipc in the modules without error

but when I ustalled IVAP nor Squawkbox FS Inn. and startup FS I got this message

FSUIPC failed to load.I received as reason:check if you have FSUICP installed.

In other words,FSUICP is not recognised by IVAP nor Squawkbox FS Inn.I

already tried to reinstall FSUICP,but .... no go!

I encountered these problem for FS9 ans also for FSX.

Does someone has a possible reason for this problem or do I have to

reinstall XP?

How do you know FSUIPC is "without error"? Did you look at the FSUIPC log file and interpret it yourself?

More information is needed if you want help here. Please show me the Log files -- FSUIPC.LOG for the FS9 Modules folder, FSUIPC4.LOG from the FSX modules folder.

BTW the FSX versions of IVAP and Squawkbox do not use FSUIPC as far as I know, so please explain your FSX reference.

Regards

Pete

That seems a bit extreme. If FS9 is running okay and FSUIPC.DLL is in the Modules folder, then it WILL run and it WILL create a Log file.

Since you are using Vista, it may be that you've let FS9 install into the Program Files folder, which is protected by Vista. Since FS9 is not Vista-\aware, and needs to write to its own folders, Vista creates aliassed folders for it -- the ones you can see and access are NOT the folders which FS9 is actually using!

To get around this, run Windows Explorer by right-clicking on it and selecting "run as administrator". THEN see if FSUIPC.DLL is installed, and if so, if there is a Log file (it will be described by Vista as a text file I think).

If you do re-install FS9, try installing it someplace more useful, like C:\FS9. If you leave it in Program Files you are likely to get problems with other add-ons in any case.

What about FSX? That doesn't suffer from any of this because it is Vista-aware, yet you said you had nothing working their either. Or was this because you expected the FS9 versions of IVAP and SB to run with FSX?

********* FSUIPC, Version 3.70 by Pete Dowson *********

Version 3.70 is extremely old -- nearly 3 years, in fact, with nearly 20 major releases since as well as uncounted interim updates. And it has been unsupported since nearly 3 years ago!

The current major release version for FS9 is 3.90. I suggest you update your copy immediately!
