Only Have Two SimConnect

Recommended Posts

When I go to the add/remove programs, I only see two Microsoft SimConnect, shouldnt I have 3 of them?  I ran both MSI files in the lib folder and Legacy.  I ran it twice but everywhere I look they say you should have 3.  Any help?

 

 

Have the following versions.....

v10.0.60905.0

v10.0.61242.0

I only have two showing in Uninstall Programs, but I think that for some reason they don't all show up.

Look in ... \Windows\winsxs\

 

for folders that start with x86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect_..... and then have a bunch of numbers and letters. 

 

Here is an example from my system:

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect_1ed9da73c880e429_10.0.62608.0_none_6994c60660d9a3f3

 

The part of the gibberish that starts w/ 10.0. gives the version number - in this case 10.0.62608.

 

I have four of these folders, although only two are showing up in Uninstall Programs.  Inside each folder is a SimConnect.dll file.

 

If you are not having a problem and see at least three of these, you should be OK.

I have never seen Simconnect programs in Uninstall Programs. What are their names?

All that indicates is that your SimConnect versions were installed as part of a larger installation package.

 

The only way of determining which SimConnect versions are installed is to search through the Windows "side by side" subfolder:

 

C:\windows\WinSxS

 

for "SimConnect".
