Problems reinstalling FSUIPC4

AFB · 2025-12-01T03:04:12Z

Hardware: New Windows 10 64 bit Install Target Product: FSX Today I had to reinstall FSUIPC4 from a saved .zip file since I lost everything FSUIPC in the W10 install. I had an earlier version like 4.0.xx which I used initially because I didn't find the 4.9.xx version I had until later in this fiasco. I installed v.4 and got into an FSX session and started to work on some new profiles that I lost in the W10 install. I wondered why I couldn't get the function to work where profiles are stored in a separate directory. I think I then read that this feature wasn't introduced 'till 4.9.xx or so. I dug around and found a .zip file in another backup location that said in the notes it was 4.9.xx and installed that thinking I would get the ability to save profiles externally. Keep in mind I have a proper license key. Every time I completed installs (a half dozen or more) the logs all said everything was "ok" in FSX, P3D and registration process. So I started an FSX flight and no "Addons" entry showed up on the menu bar. I tried various fixes all of which failed. In desperation I tried reinstalling the 4.0.xx version (which actually did work) and got a message from the installer saying there was a newer version already installed an un-ceremoniously stopped. Long and short of it "I got NUTTIN" now. Looking for a solution here so I don't waste yet another 4 hours.

I say FSUIPC functions pretty well because the Dual Rotary Encoder used to input Alpha/Numeric characters into the GPS is very skittish.

Not sure what you mean by 'skittish' in this context, but please create a new post/topic for this issue and explain the problem, and attach your FSUIPC4.ini abd FSUIPC4.log files, the latter showing your issue with appropriate logging enabled (i.e. if your rotary uses buttons, then logging for Buttons & keys, and if its an axis then activate logging for axes controls).

Not sure what you mean by 'dual encoder'. Does it have two push-buttons in each direction, or just the one?
