IPC timed out on RC4 start up

[DLH1702 0]

Hello, I am new to this forum, even though being a flight simmer for around 30 years. Recently I ran into Radar Contact 4 and thought to try it out as I always was unhappy with FS2004 build in ATC. The developers madee it available free of charge - my highest respect for this move. Thank you !!!

But now I am really in trouble, because I am unable to run RC4. I have installed it with anti-virus disabled and started the installer with administrator rights. Then I restistered RC4 and finished the DB process, After starting FS2004 I started RC4 with adminstrator rights and have instantly an error for "comdlg32.ocx  . . ." even though I have registered this file already in windows/sysWOW64. When I start RC4 without administrator rights the RC4 window opens, but after selecting the same flightplan as in FS2004, when clicking "Start RC" I get an "IPC timed out all retries" error.

I have absolutely no idea how to fix this 😕

@DLH1702, try registering comdlg32.ocx in the Windows\System32 folder too.

Also make sure you have 3.999z9b of FSUIPC available here. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/80977-updated-modules/

MakeRunways v4.70 should also be used. https://forum.simflight.com/topic/66136-useful-additional-programs/
