FSX Blue light

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905

I put this in the adress bar and no file showed up even after this clean reinstall. Does this mean somthing is wrong?

[VincentG]

Yes, without that file installed, the system can not use the simconnect portion of FSX, which then prevents 3rd party add-on items from working.

Have you tried running the simconnect install directly from the deluxe cd?

[Ayork62493]

No,how do i install the simconnect from the CD? I havnt seen an option for that.

[VincentG]

If you manually browse the 1st DVD. Open the SDK folder, and run the SDK installer.

Once installed, browse to the following folder -

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\lib

and run the Simconnect.msi installer. This should reinstall the simconnect folder.

Broswed to this folder still said path was incorrect. C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905
Started up FSX no blue light.

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9
Went there, found a simconnect DLL in that folder but thats the only place.

What now?

[VincentG]

So you ran the installer?

[Ayork62493]

Yes.

[VincentG]

If it isn't reinstalling properly, even after a clean FSX uninstall, and reinstall.....

system reinstall?

[Ayork62493]
