Won't connect to SimConnect

[JimA]

I downloaded FSUIPC to use with Plan-G.  When I try to use it Plan-G says it connects but the FSUIPC log shows several of these entries;

 

     1279 Trying to connect to SimConnect SP1 May07 ...
     1279 Now running with SimConnect SP1 May07
     1388 Failed on SimConnect_Open, return = 0x80004005: FSUIPC4 cannot operate!
 

This was at the beginning of the log if it helps:

 

********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.92 by Pete Dowson *********
Running inside FSX on Windows Vista
Module base=5A010000
 

And the two applications don't seem to interact.  Help?

You have a bad FSX installation with a corrupted SimConnect side-by-side entry. I suggest you first try updating to FSX SP2 or Acceleration, as this should fix that and will also fix a lot of other bugs in FSX.

That was the problem.  I downloaded SP2 and installed it.  Now it works!   Thanks for the help.
