FSUIPC and FSXSE: Installation Issue

[JLove]

Pete and others,

I have FSX Steam Edition, and the latest version of FSUIPC, version 4.964.  Upon install, I get the error that FSUIPC could not be installed because it couldn't find a version of SimConnect that would run FSUIPC4.  Upon looking in C:\Program Files x86\DoveTail Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\Legacy Interfaces, I see the following files or folders: FSX-RTM, FSX-SP1, and FSX-XPack.  The install log is below.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Installer for FSUIPC4.DLL version 4.964

Looking in registry for FSX install path:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\10.0
     Parameter"SetupPath"
... >>>  OK! FOUND FSX!  <<< ...
     SetupPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Dovetail Games - Flight\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition

Looking in registry for FSX-SE install path:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DovetailGames\FSX
     Parameter"Install_Path"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DovetailGames\FSX
     Parameter"AppPath"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0
     Parameter"SetupPath"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator - Steam Edition\10.0
     Parameter"AppPath"
... >>>  OK! FOUND FSX-SE!  <<< ...
     AppPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Dovetail Games - Flight\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition\

************ BUT this is the same path as for FSX! Will only install for FSX-SE ************

Looking in registry for Prepar3D v1 install path:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D
     Parameter"SetupPath"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\LockheedMartin\Prepar3D
     Parameter"AppPath"
... NOT found! ...

Looking in registry for Prepar3D v2 install path:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
     Parameter"SetupPath"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2
     Parameter"AppPath"
... NOT found! ...

Looking in registry for Prepar3D v3 install path:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
     Parameter"SetupPath"
Not there, so looking in:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3
     Parameter"AppPath"
... NOT found! ...
===========================================================

INSTALLATION FOR FSX-SE:
SetupPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Dovetail Games - Flight\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition\"
Checking version of the FSX-SE EXE:
... Version 10.0.62607.0  (Need at least 10.0.62607.0)
Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect:
... Failed to find a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4!

Hi,

Simconnect should be installed withion FSX and also Within FSX-SE installation already.

That the FSUIPC installer sees FSX and FSX-SE in the same path shows you have a messed up Registry, something went wrong on FSX-SE or FSX installation. A reainstallation of FSX-SE might help. but the deinstallation should be done then first proper and the registry corrected!

You shouldn't install flight simulator in the C:\Program Files (x86)\.  You should have a separate folder outside of the program files.  I.E. c:\fsx\ or I have d:\steam\steamapps\common\fsx\.
