John Dowson Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 6 hours ago, Reco said: I installed the current version for fsx se on a windows 10 Pc but got an error message, The screenshot says its version 4.934, so you need to update. If FSUIPC is crashing on start-up, then this is normally due to a corrupt weather file. Try disabling weather by setting NoWeatherAtAll=Yes to the [General] section of your FSUIPC4.INI file. If this solves it then either your wxstationlist.bin file is corrupt, or one of the .wx files saved with scenarios is bad. To resolve this, delete all of the .WX files from your FS Documents folder (where your flights are stored), and the file "wxstationlist.bin" in your <user>\AppData\Roaming folder for FSX. If that doesn't solve your issue, please show me/attach your FSUIPC4.log file, and also your InstallFSUIP4.log file if this issue only appeared after updating. 6 hours ago, Reco said: I deleted all the files from the modules folder so I could start a new install but the installer wont run even when I run as administrator. Why won't it run? What error do you get? If it ran previously, I can't see why it won't run again, You can try re-downloading the zip file, unzip it (don't run it from the zip file) and try again, And there is no need to delete any files.

Reco Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hi John Thank you for the quick reply. Could you point me in the right direction for the update. I will give that a try first. There is nothing in the FSX doc folder just the logbook.bin file Its running again but still the same error I have installed steam and fsx se on a second PC running windows 10 just to test things out I am going to have to moving my Sim computer from windows 7 to 10 as steam will end its client portal on Jan 2024 Cheers Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dowson Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Check any anti-virus software you are using (including WindowsDefender). I cannot see any reason that it won't run unless it is being prevented somehow, especially as you were able to re-run it previously. Also reboot first, just in case that helps.

Reco Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hi John Had to reinstalled FSX se but some reason the fsuipc installer just wont run. I get the blue spinning circle and nothing else. Cheers Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 When you run the installer, the first thing that should happen is that windows should show a 'User Account Control' window that ask you to grant permission for it to modify your system. Check your task bar to see if that window is iconised for some reason. You can also try right-clicking and 'Run as administrator'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reco Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hi John Thanks for your response. I disabled anti virus and run as admin, still no go. The weird thing is I downloaded the msfs2020 version and clicked on the installer and that brings up 'User Account Control' window I re downloaded the fsx se version but still nothing Regards Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Sorry, but I don't know what else to advise. You can check the windows Event viewer to see if anything is reported there. You can also check that your VC++ redistrubutables are up to date - but I have never seen an issue with the VC++ redistributables with FSUIPC4 before.... There is nothing wrong with the installer - it has been downloaded and used by thousands of people without issue. The issue is certainly specific to your system and I cannot advise any further on this. If all else fails, you can try manually installing FSUIPC4. To do this, create a Modules folder under your FSX folder and place the FSUIPC4.dll in it. You then need to manually modify the FSX dll.xml file, located under <your user account>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX If the dll.xml file doesn't exist, you can create it with the following content: Quote <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> If it exists, just add the FSUIPC4 <Launch.Addon> section John FSUIPC4.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reco Posted May 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Hi John clicked on installer and selected Trouble shoot compatibility and that fixed it. For some reason in compatibility mode it selected windows 8. Maybe there is an issue with my system as devise and drives are not showing in file explorer Cheers Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
