FSUIPC Failure under Win8 Consumer Preview

[DEDHead]

This is just a heads posted since Win8 is a ways off and just starting beta but figured Pete may want to get a jump on things. I just upgraded my existing rig from Win7x64 to Win8x64 (read about it on my blog here: http://www.adssimpits.com/Simpits/ADS_Simpits_Home.aspx). Upon attempting to load FSX I get an error on load stating that FSX found an error with FSUIPC4 (latest from Feb 2012) and asks if I want to skip loading, shown below. Additionally, an error log is created but it is blank.

This looks exactly like the usual SimConnect trust bug. Please see "FSX fails to run after FSUIPC4 first installed" in the FAQ suforum. This is the only cause if there is no FSUIPC4.LOG produced in the Modules folder. If there is a log, show me that please.

I have re-installed Win8 from clean install this time along with clean install of FSX and all is working properly.

Thank you.
