FSUIPC Installation Problems

[rapid_ascent]

Hi,

I just downloaded version 4.86 of FSUIPC.dll, but I'm unable to get the installation to complete. I went looking for the Modules directory to copy over the FSUIPC.dll file as suggested, but I couldn't find that folder so I created one. Hopefully I made it in the correct place (the notes could be more explict on this location). I put it in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules. I then tried to rerun the installation. It still didn't work but a log file of the installation was created. I've copied it below:

Pete is away on holiday I believe so I will try to help. Looking at the end of the install log we have this;

[/CODE]

Something seems to be wrong with your FSX install, did you run a repair install at some point?

1. Whatever happened you need to try to install Service pack 1 then run FSX and load an aircraft to the cockpit ready to fly, then close FSX.

2. Next install Service Pack 2 for FSX and load the sim to the cockpit and close FSX again.

3. Finally run the FSUIPC installer again and now hopefully it should complete properly and the next time you load the sim FSUIPC should appear in the Addons menu item.

I'm having a problem Installing FSUIPC4 with my FSX as well. I'm specifically looking to use it with the software program, Air Hauler, however every time I start the program, I get this message "FSUIPC not found in FS installation! Please install it before trying to fly the jobs!" Now I have SP1 installed and the Acceleration Pack installed. I follow the directions for the installment of FSUIPC4 exactly how they're given and I am still running into a problem.

Here is my installation log.

I am also having a problem installing FSUIPC 4.86 except I am getting a signature failed error. Mr computer is running XP professional with all service packs and I have FSX installed with SP1 & SP2. The unzipped DLL has no security certificate tab I can open with explorer properties. Attached is my installer log. Any ideas?

The FSUIPC4 install log shows that FSUIPC4 is installed okay, so there's some sort of run-time problem. Maybe your DLL.XML is corrupted? Please first, though, check the FSX Modules folder for the FSUIPC4.LOG (not the Install log, the run-time log). If it is there, show it to me. If not then find your DLL.XML (in the same folder as the FSX.CFG file) and show that to me.

Regards

Yes. This error is significant:

Problem! The signature check fails on the installed FSUIPC4.DLL. (Error ref 800B0001)

Googling shows this:

If you receive Windows Update error 800b0001, it means that Windows Update or Microsoft Update cannot determine the cryptographic service provider,

I think that either the Cryptographic Servers is not running in your Windows installation (check with Task Manager -- the Service is called "CryptSvc" in Windows 7, probablt XP also), or it is running but your Windows installation is somehow corrupted.
