I checked the other two threads concerning Vista and PM CDU. I'm having the problem with PMfile Check finding FSPLANS and the main FSX location (FS PATH).
I set the shares in Vista for Everyone for C:\Users\john\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files (FSPLANS-share name FSPLANS) and D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\MSFSFSX (FS PATH-share name MSFS), I changed the security, and I even figured how to share the root drives. Still PMfile Check cannot locate these.
I had been running CDU on WIN98 for years and I've had no problems (this is before upgrading FSX computer to Vista64), so I installed WindowsXP Pro on the CDU computer and it can see the root drives of the Vista machine, but PMfile check still not seeing it.
I just updated all the machines to latest builds of FSUIPC 4.50/WideServer 7 and Wide Client 6.78. Also, I'm current on PM GC 462, MCP 436 and CDU 402. Yet, this problem with Vista continues.
Does anyone have any ideas and what do you know of PM CDU 401 and the CDUvista.exe file, was that included and what does it do (PM site has no info other than it was included in 401)?
Thanks
