FSUIPC update 4.754 won't install

[enrico68]

Hi Pete, I am a registered owner on FSUIPC 4.751a. I downloaded the update FSUIPC 4.754, and double clicked on FSUIPC.dll. When I do that, instead of installing the new module, I get a Windows text page with funny symbols, and nothing else happens. I tried the same process a few weeks ago and it worked. Unfortunately I had to reinstall Windows 7,64 bit version, and now I can't get this new dll to install. Can you please tell me if I am doing anything wrong? Thanks for you support, regards

Enrico

Hi Pete, I am a registered owner on FSUIPC 4.751a. I downloaded the update FSUIPC 4.754, and double clicked on FSUIPC.dll.

Why are you double-clicking the FSUIPC module? It isn't an executable program, but a module which is run by FSX when FSX is started. You just place it in the FSX modules folder, as instructed. If you want an installer, download the Installer not the individual module. Please do read what it says when you go get updates. It clearly says "The FS modules here need copying into the FS modules folder once extracted"!

Unfortunately I had to reinstall Windows 7,64 bit version, and now I can't get this new dll to install. Can you please tell me if I am doing anything wrong?

As instructed in that subforum, download and run the Installer first. then optionally copy in the later update.

Regards

Hi Pete,

Just as a follow up, I did copy the new FSUIPC dll into the FSX modules folder as instructed, and it worked!! I am now a registered user of FSUIPC

version 4.756. Thanks for replying and helping me out, next time I'll be more careful in reading your instructions, take care ;-)
