Hi,It's automatically installed when you install FSX. It is also included with the SDKs for FSX.

HiThere are different versions of Simconnect. I bet it's an installation problem you are facing with FSX.If you are NOT using "Acceleration pack", proceed as followsInstall FSXRun FSX once then close itInstall FSX SP1Run FSX once then close itInstall FSX SP2You should have all versions of simconnect installed when you are done.Gerald.

First check if all three versions have installed.go to the folder windows\winsxs. do a search for simconnect. You should find three simconnect.dll amongst other stuff. If not, check which versions you got. To get them all together download and install the fsx sdk. The sdk is also on your cd's/dvd's I believe.

I was having trouble with the wrong version of simconnect installed. I read a thread on here (I forget where it is). On disk 1 I installed the SDK. Then I followed a suggestion from the thread . I got into the registry with regedit and did a search on simconnect and deleted all the entries I could find. It was a long process. Be careful with regedit. Be sure to not delete any entries that might mess up your system. I went back to the SDK and installed the simconnect thing. I think it installs three versions. This routine cured my problems. My test platform was trying to install FSrecorder and fsuipc. It worked. The culprit seems to be that version 10.0.608xxxxxx was the reason it wouldn't work. Well anyway, I'm back in business.
