FSUIPC4 and Simconnect

[Flyingteeth]

I have recently had to reinstall Windows XP, and all other software.

Upon trying to play AirHauler with FSX I am told that FSUIPC4 is not installed and to do so.

I downloaded v4.70 and tried to install with the result as seen in the attached .jpg.

Before the reinstall all worked as advertised.

I have read that an uninstall of FSX accelerator and FSX could fix this error.

I have done this five times now with no difference.

There's no attached jpg, and in any case what is required is the FSUIPC4 install log, which you will find in the FSX Modules folder. Just paste it into a message.

I have read that an uninstall of FSX accelerator and FSX could fix this error.

Really? Where have you read that? It seems to me, from all the reports I've ever seen, that the opposite is the case. The FSX uninstall is very poor and does only a half-job with SimConnect, so that when you try to reinstall it makes a complete mess, for which often the only recourse is to reinstall Windows too, from scratch. I know this from recent bitter experience when trying to find a better way.

You also need to install FSX base, run it, then SP1, run it, then SP2 (or Acceleration). Only then try installing addons.
