Unable to Install on Wireless Network

[jhkaye]

When I tried to install FSX SP2 today on the networked PC, it is apparently already installed, because the only option that could be chosen was to uninstall SP2.  I thought I had installed both SP1 and SP2 after installing FSX on the new hard drive for the networked Dell XPS computer.  I tried to install FSUIPC, thinking that this might be a way to get Plan-G to work, but FSUIPC won't install either.  The FSUIPC4.log is as follows:

Since FSUIPC won't install, it does not appear in the FSX menu on the networked PC.  FSUIPC comes up normally in the menu when I run FSX on the Aurora.

Sounds like a problem with FSUIPC itself. If you have the SDK, you can try reinstalling SimConnect from the SDK version.

Success! :) :) :)  Using FSUIPC I am now able to use the networked PC running under Windows XP to display Plan-G, and run FSX on the much faster Alienware Aurora.  This is really neat because I can see all my Ultimate Traffic aircraft, and change map position and magnification without affecting the in-progress flight.  Thanks for all the help on this forum!
