I have tried repairing and completely reinstalling Acceleration from my install disc. Neither option put the folder back in winsxs. Is there any other way of fixing this? How did you lose the folder? Are the other two versions there (60905 and 61242)? If you don't have the SP2/Acceleration version of SimConnect.msi (eg in the FSX SDK), then you may be able to download it from someplace, but I would guess that if Acceleration install/repair didn't re-create the correct folders/files then neither will the specific SimConnect installer. If that's the case it is some sort of Registry mess which I don't think is solvable, unless you can roll back to a better time. If not I can only think of two things to try: 1. If you do have the older folders, try using the "UseSimconnect" parameter in FSUIPC's INI file to select one of those. This is described on page 12 pf the FSUIPC4 advanced user's guide. 2. Failing that I think the only solution might be a Windows re-install. That's what I had to do in a similar mess -- one I created deliberately to see if I could write a program to fix SimConnect problems.

Regards Pete I had deleted one of the simconnect folders to try and repair it with a simconnect reinstall from the SDK. I royally screwed up the sim however. Your second solution was the only one that worked, a complete windows reinstall. I've done that and everything is working fine as it should. From now on I'm not touching anything in the windows folder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
