barryvernick Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 I purchased FS Instant Approach. After installing I realized I needed to install FSUIPC4 which I did. HOwever, I do not think FSUIPC4 is running and FSX does not have the add on menu option. Here is the DLL.XML file in text: Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>XMLTools</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>XMLTools.dllPath> <DLLStartName>module_init</DLLStartName> <DLLStopName>module_deinit<DLLStopName> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Falcon7xFMS</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>SimObjects\Airplanes\Wilco_Dassault_Falcon_7X\panel\Falcon7xFMS.dll</Path> <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName> <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> I have not registered and I have tried it on included aircraft as well as add on aircraft. I have previously used FS SE but I have deleted it and also have used Xplane 11. Thanks!!
John Dowson Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 Your dll.xml looks fine. Could you post or attach your FSUIPC install log please.

John Dowson Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 Your install log looks ok. Do you have an FSUIPC4.log file in your modules folder? If so, can you please post/attach.
DaveG Posted July 12, 2019 Report Posted July 12, 2019 There's some lines from the begining of the DLL.xml posted above. If that's the complete contents then that would cause the XML not to be read.

John Dowson Posted July 13, 2019 Report Posted July 13, 2019 FSUIPC4.log file please? Also, a simconnect log file - please see this post in order to activate this:
barryvernick Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Posted July 13, 2019 Ah you probably identified the problem. I cannot open My Documents folder as access is denied. I have been unsuccessful in gaining permission.
John Dowson Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Your FSUIPC4.log file should be in your Modules folder :C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.log
barryvernick Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Posted July 14, 2019 There is no log file in the modules folder.
John Dowson Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 Ok, so FSUIPC is not loading, and so I will need to see you simconnect log file to determine why, so you need to sort out access to your documents folder. Are you sure that you are accessing it from the correct place? Try from the Libraries -> Documents -> My Documents quick-access link in explorer. I can see on my windows 7 system that I have 2 'My Documents' folders (well, one is a link) for some reason, and one (the link) also gives me an access denied error.
