Cannot install FSUIPC6: Cannot find P3Dv4 or P3Dv5 installation and so cannot install

[Amw1234 0]

Good morning,

I'm trying to install FSUIPC6 v 6.0.11, and I just can't seem to get it started.

When I run the .exe (even as admin) it just errors and tells me:

"Cannot find P3Dv4 or P3Dv5 installation ans so cannot install"

I've tried running it from both the C and D Drive, and the error remains - can't see anything in the readme file or elsewhere in this forum. 

 

Any suggestions or help appreciated :)

First, you should always give your posts/support requests an appropriate title. Using your forum username isn't very helpful - I have changed it.

This implies that no registry entries for P3Dv4 ot P3Dv5 have been found on your system. Do you have either version installed?
Have you ran the version you have installed? It needs to be ran at least once to generate the registry entries.
If that's not the issue, try uninstalling and re-installing the P3D client for the version you are using.

Apologies; must have missed that.

I have P3Dv5 installed for around 6 months, and have run it many times. 

I'll have a look and see what I can do with the client and come back.

Many thanks

This is very strange then! As I said, try re-installing the client, run P3Dv5 once, then try to install FSUIPC6. If you get the same issue, let me know.

Hello,
the same problem here. I made a brandnew install of WIN10 64bit (Version2004), I installed P3D V.5.1 and it works without any problem.
When I run the FSUIPC Installer (6.0.12) it tells me: ""Cannot find P3Dv4 or P3Dv5 installation and so cannot install".
- I reinstalled the client of P3D: No change
- I scanned the registry with regedit and it seems, there is no information about the location of P3D (programm files, standard location)
It's mysterious to me... Any idea what I can do?

Best grettings

And you ran P3D at least once after installing (or re-installing) the client?

If there are no P3D registry entries, it won't detect your P3D installation and won't install.
I'm not sure why you haven't got the registry entries. I will look into this...

In the mean-time, I can update the installer to maybe ignore this, and proceed to the selection of the P3D versions  to install into (rather than aborting).

Please download and try the following installer: http://www.fsuipc.com/download/Install_FSUIPC6a.zip

It will still display the message, but you can continue to select the P3D version you wish to install into.

Hi John,

many thanks for this! Now it worked - and even without showing a message.
Don't know what was going on there, but it works! Thank you and a good Sunday!
