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

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....

Vista x64 / FSX

OK, vista 64-bit.....

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

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?

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

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

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 :-(
