Hi folks - Hoping some of the local CTD gurus have some ideas as to what's causing this one.  It happens relatively infrequently (maybe 1 out of every 3 flights).  I've done some research (googling and searching here), but I can't figure out the source.  Problem with a .NET install?  Simconnect?  Note that I tried uninstalling and re-installing UT2 on a hunch, but no change.  Thanks in advance!

SimConnect appears to be installed correctly.  Perhaps there is a problem with the dll.xml or exe.xml files.  There appears to be an issue with the interaction between SimConnect and UT2.  You can try disabling all the items in the dll.xml and exe.xml (except the top one) and see if that fixes the problem.  If so, you'll need to reenable them one at a time to see which one might be causing the problem.  Edit the line  <Disabled>False</Disabled> to <Disabled>True</Disabled>.

 

The other problem might be your Microsoft.net installation -

 

Make sure required Microsoft.net Framework Packages are installed and up-to-date - The appropriate Microsoft.net Framework packages are normally installed when you first install FSX/Acceleration/P3D and commercial add-on programs if the appropriate package is not found.  You will need versions 1.1 through the latest. You can see what versions are installed by going to your Windows Explorer and look for Windows/Microsoft.net/Framework/(then the versions installed). Once the packages are installed, Windows Update will periodically update the packages.  You can verify whether your versions are properly installed and up-to-date by using the .Net Framework Setup Verification Tool User's Guide.  Microsoft.net packages are used by developers to make sure the program runs in the way they intended, including memory management. The packages are, for the most part, not backward compatible.

 

Best regards,

Jim - thank you very much for you reply.  I did a little bit more testing, which suggested that the flaw lies in uiautomationcore.dll.  Following the advice in the AVSIM hardware/software guide, I added to my FSX directory the earlier version of that file mentioned in the guide.  So far, so good, so I will keep my fingers crossed.
