Registered FSUIPC... now WideFS gives an error

[rickalty]

Hi Pete - I just went ahead and downloaded the latest version of FSUIPC, and registered it.

Now, when I start MSFS, I get an error message that says "WideFS requires FSUIPC version 2.30 or later. It can carry on but may not provide consistant access to FSUIPC variables".

WideFS is no longer freeware, and you cannot use Version 5 WideFS or earlier with FSUIPC 3 or later. You need WideFS 6 and it is not free. Sorry.

Dammit, I should have stayed w my older FSUIPC :-(

Actually, since I've decided to go with a hardware radio panel attached to my main computer, I don't need WideFS anyway, so I'll just delete it.

Since I'm not using WideFS, and it's not working with my registered FSUIPC anyway, how do I go about uninstalling it? Can I just delete the dll, or would that leave FS or FSUIPC confused and lost trying to find it ?

Just delete WideServer.DLL. FSUIPC doesn't know or care about it -- it's the other way round, WideServer needs FSUIPC.
