Pete Dowson Posted April 24, 2016 Report Posted April 24, 2016 This is a support request, moved from User Contributions subforum. Please always post support questions here, not in the specialised subforums which are for the purpose implied in their titles. Can any one kindly help me chrishayes You have a Regstry problem with your installed FS. To help resolve that I need to see the Install log. That's why one is made. That will contain all the details. You'll find it saved in the FSX modules folder, and also in the folder where you ran the Installer. It is a text file -- you can paste it in its entirety in a reply here. Pete
chrishayes001 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks, Pete. Apologies for sending to the wrong place. chris

Pete Dowson Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 You have a good FSX installation, and FSUIPC4 installed fine there, as shown: INSTALLATION FOR FSX: SetupPath="D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" Checking version of the FSX EXE: ... Version 10.0.61637.0 (Need at least 10.0.60905.0) with the DLL.XML file being found and updated too: Found FSX.CFG in "C:\Users\Chris Hayes\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\FSX.CFG" Now checking DLL.XML ... ... There is a previous DLL.XML, checking for FSUIPC4 section. ... FSUIPC4 section already exists but will be replaced. (for FSUIPC4, without Loader) ... FSUIPC4 section of DLL.XML written okay So, your FSX is fine. However, your FSX-SE installation needs an FSX_SE.CFG file (if it was a standalone installation, with no FSX also installed, it would be named FSX.CFG, but that is not the case here). FSUIPC4 has been installed okay into FSX-SE: INSTALLATION FOR FSX-SE: SetupPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\" Checking version of the FSX-SE EXE: ... Version 10.0.62615.0 (Need at least 10.0.62607.0) But because you have no correct FSX_SE.CFG file, the FSUIPC4 Installer does not know where to place your DLL.XML. Without a DLL.XML file telling FSX-SE to load FSUIPC4.DLL, it cannot operate. Maybe you have not yet run FSX-SE? The CFG file is not made until you do. Pete
chrishayes001 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Posted April 25, 2016 Than you very much for your reply. I have clearly made a mistake as I am actually using the Steam version of FSX. I presume I should be running from FSX-SE. Do I have to start again with FSX-SE and re-install everything anew? Thanks Chris
Pete Dowson Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Than you very much for your reply. I have clearly made a mistake as I am actually using the Steam version of FSX. I presume I should be running from FSX-SE. Do I have to start again with FSX-SE and re-install everything anew? No you shouldn't have to. did you already have FSX installed when you installed FSX-SE, because that's how it looks. If you didn't, and installed FSX AFTER FSX-SE, that might explain the mess. If you have already run FSX-SE (you didn't actually answer that part), then you need to find out where the CFG file it is usding is stored. If it is FSX.CFG then that's actually wrong and an indication perhaps that FSX-SE didn't realise that FSX was installed when you installed it. If you can find the CFG file it is using, and it is "FSX-CFG" then you could make a copy of it called "FSX_SE.CFG" to fool the FSUIPC4 installer to generating the correct DLL.XML. Look in C:\Users\Chris Hayes\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE and C:\Users\Chris Hayes\AppData\Roaming\DoveTail Games\FSX or C:\Users\Chris Hayes\AppData\Roaming\DoveTail Games\FSX-SE I'm guessing a little here with those names. However, even then, I'd be concerned also about other ramifications -- in particular where FSX-SE is storing its flights and plans. normally with a dual FSX + FSX-SE installation FSX-SE would use a folder in Your Documents called "Flight Simulator FSX-SE Files" (or similar), to keep them separate from FSX Files, but when it is installed as the only FSX it uses the same name as FSX -- Flight Simulator X Files. This difference will affect some of the things FSUIPC can do (as well as other applications, I'm sure). The first thing to do is try to explain and understand what you did to have both FSX and FSX-SE installed if you only intended to have FSX-SE. Can you do that? Did you think you had uninstalled FSX? Pete

Can you do that? Did you think you had uninstalled FSX? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Pete Thank you very much for your replies. I am most grateful.. I have realized I have made problems for myself.! I bought through STEAM but called it FSX when I couldn't work out what FSX:SE was. I did have an old boxed FSX version on another drive before that just to see the effect of Windows 10 - it was a bit flaky! But I never had the stand-alone FSX on the same drive. Now I have realised another thing. When I got the steam version on this new computer I automatically went for the drive that had Program Files (x86) on it - like we used to years ago. But that drive is nearly full now so I am going to scrub everything and start again on the D: drive. Luckily I only have a couple of addons plus your FSUIPC4. I will try and not bother you any more - at least for a few weeks - as I have to go to work in Manchester and can't play with this away from home. I appreciate your help. Thanks again Chris
Pete Dowson Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 I have realized I have made problems for myself.! I bought through STEAM but called it FSX when I couldn't work out what FSX:SE was. Not sure how you can call it FSX yourself. Is renaming an option in Steam? I did have an old boxed FSX version on another drive before that just to see the effect of Windows 10 - it was a bit flaky! But I never had the stand-alone FSX on the same drive. Things being on different drives is completely irrelevant. They are installed on your system. Now I have realised another thing. When I got the steam version on this new computer I automatically went for the drive that had Program Files (x86) on it - like we used to years ago. It also isn't really a good idea these days, because the "Program Files" folders are protected from writing (since Vista days). FSUIPC's Installer makes the Modules folder (only) read/write, but the other folders can give other applications problems. This is why many folks have to run FSX or FSX-SE"as administrator" -- to give them enough provilege. But that drive is nearly full now so I am going to scrub everything and start again on the D: drive. Okay. Are you reformatting both drives and reinstalling Windows? If not, before your simply delete anything make sure you use Windows' Control Panel, "Programs and Features", and uninstall FSX, FSX-SE and Steam. You may need to run a Registry Cleaner too, because the uninstall leaves traces in the Registry. Pete
