WideFS and WIN7 64 BIT Problems

[herculespilot]

Hi Pete,

i decided to change from WIN7 32 Bit to win7 64 BIT with my FSX setup. All works fine, but the WIDEFS Server doesnt work as it schould. I installed the current FSUIPC4 and WIDEFS7 Package from your website and used the register-tool thats comes with this package. FSUIPC was registered without problems, but WIDEFS doesnt accept the key (i used this key many time before in WIN7 32BIT). When i start FSX and watch in the FSUIPC Menu, all looks normal and also WIDEFS is marked as registered?!? But the message "waiting for clients" comes up after 30 seconds and dissapears after 2 seconds without accept any connects from clients. I allready dissabled the firewall and ckecked the IP from the PC. Any idea whats the reason for this behavior?

Sorry for he poor english:-)

Regards

Thomas

I am using WideFS from a Win7 64-bit FSX server PC. There's absolutely no difference. It works in exactly the same way.

You are most certainly making an error. There is no way any of the Registration processing is any different between 32- and 64-bit and your registration of FSUIPC4 proves that -- it is the same identical code doing both FSUIPC4 and WideFS7. When it "doesn't accept the key", what exact message does it show, and where? Please show me the Install log for the Registration Install.

If WideFS is "marked as registered" your key most certainly could not have been rejected as you say. And when the message "waiting for clients" disappears, what replaces it? There is no mechanism for simply removing it.

I'm afraid your report is not making any sense to me as it stands. In fact it conflicts with itself. I need to know exactly what messages you are seeing, and where. And I need to see the Install log, the FSUIPC4 log and the WideServer log files, all from your FSX Modules folder. You can paste them into a message here, they will be short enough.
