FSUIPC INSTALLER ERROR

[MIKELEW1914]

Hey Pete, while recently trying to install the newest version of FSUIPC for FS2004, I came across this error message:

===============================================================================

Installer for FSUIPC.DLL version 3.999z

Looking in registry for FS9.1 install path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.1

Parameter"EXE Path"

Not there, so looking in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.1

Parameter"EXE Path"

... NOT found! ...

Looking in registry for FS9 install path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0

Parameter"EXE Path"

... >>> OK! FOUND FS9! <<< ...

===========================================================

INSTALLATION FOR FS9:

EXE Path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9"

Checking if there's already a version of FSUIPC installed in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL

... Version 3.984 found.

Failed to place FSUIPC.DLL into folder as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Modules\FSUIPC.DLL"

Error 32 reported ("The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ")

==============================================================================

Thing is, there were no other programs running.....well none that I was aware of. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This can happen if your previous session of FS9 did not terminate properly. There's no way FSUIPC's installer can invent an error report from Windows -- it simply logs what Windows reports. Use the Windows Task manager and examine the list of processes still running. Delete forcibly the one with FS9.EXE identified.
