FSUIPC ver 4.80 Install issues with FSX

[Adrian_2012]

I am currently running FSX on Windows 7 SP1. I installed FSUIPC ver 4.80 and got the ok message. There were no previous versions installed.

I was able to start up FSX but after selecting "fly now"", the loading terrain data"" got to 100% followed by a "fatal error" prompt. Next was a "windows fixing problem" prompt, followed by an automatic program restart and back into the same problem cycle..

I am currently running FSX on Windows 7 SP1. I installed FSUIPC ver 4.80 and got the ok message. There were no previous versions installed.

I was able to start up FSX but after selecting "fly now"", the loading terrain data"" got to 100% followed by a "fatal error" prompt. Next was a "windows fixing problem" prompt, followed by an automatic program restart and back into the same problem cycle.

This sounds a bit like the SimConnect "trust" bug, which is quite a problem with the original FSX release and the SP1 update, but which was mostly (but not completely) fixed in SP2. I see you supplied the Installer log, which isn't really relevant because your install went okay, you say. Is there an FSUIPC4 log file there too? If so, please show it to me. If there isn't, it means that FSUIPC isn't even getting loaded. in that case see the first thread in the FAQ subforum.

The usual reason for a crash at the point you got to is a corrupted weather file. But the run-time log should help determine that. The other piece of useful information would be the details from the Windows event log -- there will be an entry there recording the crash and pointing to the culprit module and the position within it. You can find the log in Computer Properties - Manage - System Tools - Event viewer - Windows Logs - Application.

Thanks for the quick response.

Re-installing FSX SP2 seemed to do the trick. Its working fine now.
