Hi!
I have the following problem:
On my completely new machine (fresh install of Win Home Premium 7 64 bit), I just installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X, followed by its Acceleration Pack. In order to get all the hardware working again, I installed the Track Ir 5 software directly afterwards.
After that, the Track Ir 5 software starts flawlessly and my Track Ir 4 hardware is recognized. But, the big problem is, that FSX doesn�t start anymore. Directly after clicking its desktop symbol, an error message pops up stating, that FSX couldn�t be started because of a wrong "side by side configuration".
I uninstalled and reinstalled FSX again, and it starts without any problems, but as soon as the Track Ir 5 software is installed, FSX refuses to start with the error message.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Greets,
Michael

In C:\Windows\winsxs there should be three folders with the name Simconnect in them. Delete all three and then put your FSX disk in and run a repair install. That should clear up the "side by side" problem.

Hi!
I got it sorted out.
There were Visual C++ files missing, after adding them, everything works flawlessly!
