I keep getting access denied - even in safe mode

Could you be a little more specific as to what you are refering to?

[Jorgensen]

It seems to that to do a proper reinstall of simconnect - one have to delete the exiting folders or ?

I'm struggle with getting my TrackIr to work again....

OK, vista 64-bit.....

When you did the clean install of FSX, did the simconnect folders get erased?

[Jorgensen]

Hi

I have just tried to uninstall both FSX and SimConnect - but the following two folders did not get deleted:

x86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_none_dd92b94d8a196297

and

x86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.61242.0_none_e079b46b85043c20

And I can't delete them manual

Have you tried changing attributes to the root WinSXS folder?

i.e. - take off read only attributes?

[Jorgensen]

Yes, I did - though it wasn't easy

I then have FSX uninstalled, TrackIr uninstalled - and SDK uninstalled and the mentioned folders deleted.

Now, I reinstalled FSX (does take some time), installed TrackIR - did not work.

I then installed the SDK, still no go

Updated FSX, via SP1, still no go.

Tried to update SDK via SP1 for SDK SP1a, still no go.

Tried to install simconnect via SimConnect - is this necessary ?

It starts, and seems to install, but it did not say - 'I have installed' - still no go...

And the x86_microsoft........ is not created...

I use Vista x64 - and it (TrackIr / FSX) has worked before.

Please help

[VincentG]

could you send me copies of the 2 folders that installed?

[Jorgensen]

As I write - the two folders are not created when I run SimConnect.msi - so I can't send them to you.

It seems to me that you have to do a lot of MS related support here
