Missing fsuipc.ini

[erocfx]

I can't find it in the installation folder. Should it be there?

[John Dowson]

The FSUIPC7.ini file is created the first time you run the application, if not already present.
You can check the installation location by using the File -> Open Installation Folder... menu option.
If you can't see the extensions, then thats due to your windows explorer settings. See the Addemdum in the Installation and Registration guide to fix this (last page).

I have run the program, checked window explore settings and read the Addendum. I still don't have an FSUIPC7.ini file. Or any ini files in the installation folder. Is there one I can download?

No! It has to be there, with your FSUIPC7.log and FSUIPC7.JoyScan.csv files. Do you see them? Are you sure that you are looking in the correct place?

Thanks for your help John.

I figured it out. When I run FSUIPC as administrator, it would then make the files,

This is because you made the mistake of installing FSUIPC7 into a protected folder. It is strongly recommended to install it into a normal folder, like C:\FSUIPC. Then you'd never have such problems.

Note that if you run FSUIPC7 'as administrator' you need to run any FSUIPC client add-ons on the same PC 'as administrator' too, otherwise they cannot talk to each other.

Yes, as Pete says, you shouldn't do this. Re-install in a different location.
