FSUIPC 4 not working

[Nurbz54]

hello,

I have FSX installed from the CD, not the steam version. I am trying to install FSUIPC version 4 onto my laptop. the installer runs correctly and completes itself. I have Bought the version which includes all the features. I also have run it as an administrator. I also ran FSX first before installing the software. Once I've run FSX, the addon menu doesnt appear at all.

 my fsx.cfg file is located in this foler:"C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX".  this folder also contains the DLL file. I have said yes to the pop ups that come up when you start FSX for the second time after installing FSUIPC version 4 but still the addon menu doesnt show up.

 

here is the installer log for your info:

Did you also install SP1 and SP2? If not, please do that....at least SP! is required...

If/when using a boxed version, you usually also need to download and install the service packs....

As I said, if you have a boxed version you need to update and install the service packs before you can use FSUIPC4.
