FSX CTD and now unable to open

[Jim Young 2,356]

I have no idea how FSCoPilot or FSInn are configured.  Sounds like that is your problem though and suggest you go to the VATSIM forums and see if they can resolve your configuration.

 

Best regards,

Should I talk to them about the FSUIPC error upon FSX startup? I'm not worried about FSCopilot and FSInn since they don't seem to be causing any issues, nor have they in the past.

 

There is one last thing I will try a little later when I get home. There's a chance I deleted the FSUIPC entries in the copy of dll.xml you suggested I make, not the actual dll.xml. I want to try deleting both entries again and deleting everything FSUIPC-related from the Modules folder. Then I'll reinstall FSUIPC again and see if anything changes.

Could you just clarify what you meant by moving any lines below the last line up first? Perhaps that's where the issue is.

If you're going to delete the FSUIPC entries and reinstall, make sure you delete them from DLL.XML and FSX.CFG. If I recall your thread at the FSUIPC forum you were running into a trust issue and if so you may want to delete the FSUIPC signatures out of FSX.CFG.

 

Just look for lines like this:

 

D:\Program Files\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.dll.ecuuctwtrwehrhwwwlkwetokqarnachlwtcillrc=1

 

Cheers!

I tried deleting/moving the FSUIPC Install log from the Modules folder and got an error this time. Here's a link to a picture of it.

Thanks Luke for the suggestion. I never even thought of that. As soon as I can move or delete that final file, I will try deleting the entries from both dll.xml and fsx.cfg.

Is UAC on?

 

Cheers!

Nope. Should it be?

[Luke 782]

Not sure - that error is either permissions or that there's something seriously wrong with the drive.

 

FWIW I always keep UAC on, but I ensure that FSX and other old software stays out of C:\Program Files.

 

Cheers!

I turned UAC back on and got the same error. Are you talking about C:\Program Files alone, or C:\Program Files (x86) as well?

[Luke 782]

Both. Is that the only file you are having problems with? Try skipping it.

 

Cheers!

That was the only file so I skipped it,

 

I reinstalled FSUIPC. It seemed like it might work this time as it didn't find any traces of previous versions.

 

However, as you can probably assume, I got the same error while starting FSX.

I'm guessing at this point a full uninstall and reinstall are in store? That's probably just what I'll end up doing next.

[Luke 782]

Take FSUIPC out of the equation for a few days. Is the sim stable without it?

 

Cheers!

I honestly haven't tried without it. I need it to run DVA ACARS, which I would prefer, but if I have to live without, I guess I could.

[Luke 782]

It's worth trying for a flight or two. If the sim is unstable without FSUIPC, then I definitely see a reinstall in your future.

 

Cheers!

Okay. I'll look into trying a flight this weekend without FSUIPC. I'll let you know how it goes.
