FSUIPC blocks SDK from loading.

[Seahawk72s]

A new install of FSX + Acceleration on Win7 64 with the SDK installed.

I manually added the FSUIPC entry to the dll.xml, restarted FSX and under Tools the SDK modules were gone and FSUIPC

was there. Removed FSUIPC entry, restarted FSX and SDK modules were back under tools. FSUIPC and SDK modules are trusted in

FSX.cfg. Downloaded and installed FSUIPC 4.971 and ran install as Administrator. Checked dll.xml and FSUIPC entry was there.

Restarted FSX and SDK modules are gone with FSUIPC the only entry. Once more removed FSUIPC entry and SDK modules were back after FSX restart.

No SDK modules with code below.  Puzzled...

For now I'll just use 2 sets of .xml files, SDK for one and FSUIPC and other modules for the other.

I'm assuming its some sort of sensitivity with the SDK install that's causing the problem.

Three SDK uninstalls with re-installs is not fixing it.

Why? The FSUIPC INstaller does that for you.

I've always had the Tools and AddOns menu running with no problems. I don't understand why you are manually editing the XML file.

You can use SimConnect logging to see what DLLs and EXEs are being loaded by SimConnect from the XML files, and it also logs the error number/message if one it sees does not load. Check that. SimConnect logging is enabled with entries in a Simconnect.ini file in your FS Documents folder. See the FAQ subforum for a thread on that.
