Pete,

I have just performed a P3D v2.5 fresh install and I have installed FSUIPC  4.939j (this is side by side installation with FSX).

I have entered the registration key both for FSUIPC and WideFS 7 and apparently the installation went fine. However, when I start P3D and enter the FSUIPC menu, it tells me that this is an unregistered copy.

The thing which is confusing me is that the installer log shows a successful registration (on the parallel FSX install everything works fine:

Update.

I noticed that in the P3D modules folder there was no FSUIPC Key file, so I just copied and pasted into that folder the same file included in the FSX Modules folder and now everything is ok.

So it seems it is sorted out. Just one question: is there any problem in doing it that way, i.e.copying the key file from FSX to P3D ?

Thanks

Hmm. Strange the Key file wasn't automatically copied. I'll have to check that again.

No, it is the same file, and the Installer should havce copied it for you. IO'm checking now ...

Okay, I can see where it can go wrong in the most recent versions of the Installer. I'll fix it and re-upload it. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[LATER STILL]

 

It was a silly bug caused by trying to help someone else who couldn't find the Install Log -- the change on 1st April was to make the Installer also save a copy of the log next to itself.

 

Fixed in the updated install package now uploaded.
