Hello,

 

I always hoped that I would never have to post here, but oh well...

 

Anyway, I start FSX Deluxe with Acceleration and both SP's installed fine, but when I try to click on one of the menu options on the left (multiplayer, settings, etc) nothing happens for a few seconds but after that a fatal error and CTD.

 

I was hoping that somebody could help me out with this, perhaps they had a simlar problem and fixed it somehow? This has never happened to me since I bought FSX back in 2007, and a reinstall would be a nightmare as I have numerous payware aircraft, some which require money to redownload.

 

Thanks.

Hello James

 

First thing to try if you don't have it.

 

Download UIAutomationCore.dll (version 6.0.6001.18000, link from Word Not Allowed's) is a must.

Just place it in your FSX folder, nothing else to do.

 

This simple "fix" solved your type of problem for most of us)

Also I would get FSUIPC, it’s free, but the registered version has more features, it solves a lot of FSX issues, and the latest versions even solve some of the dreaded g3d.dll errors

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

Thanks for your quick reply. That link seems to be 404'ing, and a quick look around isn't finding any more for me. Could you possibly re-link?

 

Thanks

Ok Word Not Allowed's link is down, here is another link by Paul

You can download this from here, place it in the FSX root folder and rename it as "UIAutomationCore.dll" (no quotes)

It worked!

 

Thank you so much for your help, exactly what I needed. Stupid dll files... or lack of...

 

Thanks!, Resolved.

Glad it worked, also consider FSUIPC.

 

Go Fly and enjoy. :dance:

Yes, I've used FSUIPC for some time now. It's useful for configuring flight control systems

Just a quick note - The version number should be 6.0.5840.16386. This is the Vista 32-bit version, and works well with FSX.

 

Place it into the root folder of FSX. DON'T put it anywhere else.

 

Version 6.0.6001.18000 will also work, but it also will fail occasionally, whereas 5840.16386 does not fail at all.

Alright, i've changed it over to the 6.0.5840.16386 version. Still working great.

 

Thanks,
