SteveLewis Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I'm building a new PC (Win7-Professional 64bit) and have installed FSX including SP1 & SP2. A clean install on a new HD. I then copied over my existing FSX set up from a 1Tb backup drive. FSX comes up just fine. Problem is with FSUIPC4 installation. I am a registered owner of FSUIPC4 as well as FSUIPC. When attempting to install FSUIPC4 into FSX I get the following error: "Your FSX installation is incorrect! The version of SimConnect installed will not run FSUIPC4. You may need to repair the installation to rectivy this first." When I installed the FSX SDK, I installed the original from FSX Disc 1, then downloaded and installed SP1. I directed these installs to: G:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK Then I attempted to install SP2 of the SDK, and I could not direct it to the G drive location. It insisted on going to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK After failing to get it onto my G drive several times, I deleted it and went ahead and installed it into the C drive location. Now I get the error above. Further, it states that it can not find Microsoft ESP in the register. I'm assuming that this is a part of the SDK. Now, on my old PC, with Win XP, I was able (somehow) to direct the SDK to the G drive and never had a problem like this. Question: Is the error I am getting have to do with the location (on a different drive) of the SDK? By the way, I downloaded SimConnect and installed it (went to the C drive) but I still get the error. Steve Lewis KOMA
Pete Dowson Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I'm building a new PC (Win7-Professional 64bit) and have installed FSX including SP1 & SP2. A clean install on a new HD. I then copied over my existing FSX set up from a 1Tb backup drive. FSX comes up just fine. Problem is with FSUIPC4 installation. I am a registered owner of FSUIPC4 as well as FSUIPC. When attempting to install FSUIPC4 into FSX I get the following error: "Your FSX installation is incorrect! The version of SimConnect installed will not run FSUIPC4. You may need to repair the installation to rectivy this first." This is a sure indication of an error in the Windows Side-by-Side installation of SimConnect. I could get more details if you'd please show the Installer log contents here. Are you using the latest version of FSUIPC4's installer? If you aren't attempting to install version 4.70 or later, please do so first. I can't support anything earlier for FSX and there have been changes to make it less dependent on any tangle up in the Windows horrendous Side-by-Side DLL system.. If it then works you might get an operative FSUIPC, but you could still have problems with other SimConnect applications, depending how they connect to it. When I installed the FSX SDK, I installed the original from FSX Disc 1, then downloaded and installed SP1. I directed these installs to: G:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK Then I attempted to install SP2 of the SDK, and I could not direct it to the G drive location. It insisted on going to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK After failing to get it onto my G drive several times, I deleted it and went ahead and installed it into the C drive location. FSUIPC doesn't use and doesn't care about the SDK. It doesn't need it installed. Folks without the DeLuxe version of FSX don't get an SDK option in any case. Further, it states that it can not find Microsoft ESP in the register. I'm assuming that this is a part of the SDK. No, ESP is another Flight Simulator, the professional version of FSX which is developed further by Lockheed Martin and published as Prepar3D. If you were using the correct and supported version of the Installer it would also have told you that Prepar3D couldn't be found either. Naturally, my installer will only find those supported Flight Simulators which you have installed -- just as the FSUIPC 3 installer looks for FS2000, CFS1, FS2002, CFS2 and FS2004. Now, on my old PC, with Win XP, I was able (somehow) to direct the SDK to the G drive and never had a problem like this. Question: Is the error I am getting have to do with the location (on a different drive) of the SDK? By the way, I downloaded SimConnect and installed it (went to the C drive) but I still get the error. Sounds like you've made a bit of a mess with SimConnect, but, no, nothing of mine needs the SDK, and the relevant parts of SimConnect are automatically installed with FSX and updated with SP1 and SP2. The provision of SimConnect installers in the SDK is really just for use on Networked computers linked to the FSX one so you can run SimConnect applications like ASX or ASE remotely. Regards Pete

Pete Dowson Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Checking version of FSX.EXE: ... Version 10.0.61472.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0) Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect: ... Failed to find a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4! That is really bad. It isn't a matter of SimConnect installations being a little messed up, they aren't even located! As you can see, it's looking for ESP for some reason. I told you the reason! You don't have ESP installed! The same applies to Prepar3D. Didn't you bother to read my reply properly? ESP and Prepar3D are other Simulators supported by FSUIPC4! If you want the Installer to actually find ESP you have to buy ESP and install it! (Problem there is that it isn't for sale any more, and it cost $800 when it was!) Here's the FSUIPC.log file, too********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.60a by Pete Dowson ********* That's a log for FSUIPC version 4.60a -- the Installer log was for version 4.703, and even then SimConnect is not accessible, not any of them! I've never seen such a case before! NOTE: SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 is supported, but it isn't installed.NOTE: SimConnect SP1 May07 is supported, but it isn't installed. NOTE: SimConnect Original is supported, but it isn't installed. so things are really screwed up. You could try simply downloading a later version of FSUIPC 4.7xx from the Download Links subforum, copying it into your FSX Modules folder, but I suspect that, even though it gets around some of the Windows side-by-side complications, it still won't work. I was attempting to install v4.4.70( from your website. I don't have a website. Perhaps you mean Enrico Schiratti's "Dowson" page, where he hosts most of my stuff? I think you need to reinstall FSX. It's in a mess. You could first try uninstalling SP2 then SP1, via the Windows control panel, then installing those again. Be sure to run FSX between each update -- it doesn't like it otherwise. If that doesn't work you might have to start again completely -- I know several folks who've somehow messed up the Windows side-by-side system for SimConnect and had to resort to a complete reformat and Windows re-install to get it sorted. You might just be able to get the latest FSUIPC4 updates working, but I doubt you'll find many other add-ons which use SimConnect being so tolerant! Regards Pete
SteveLewis Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 Pete, I uninstalled FSX completely. Did a cleaning of files fragments. Then reinstalled FSX, SP1, & SP2. Copied over my working copy from my backup file. Then installed the latest FSUIPC4. Worked like a charm. For some reason, my initial install wasn't registered correctly or something. Thanks for the help. Steve Lewis Omaha
