I am getting this error message when trying to run FDC in FSX.
Any help will be appreciated.

Error:-1073741674 - Automation error in "SetupDirectSound" routine.

I responded in PFE forum.

This now sounds like a windows error,maybe a runtime or .net issue.

are there any sound-errors if you run dxdiag ?

Start - type dxdiag in the box and enter

Ran dxdiag No problems found.
As this is occurring in both FDC and PFE is there a tool I could run to check for windows error's and runtime or .net issue's?

As I suggested with PFE, please try installing the cumulative updates package

Getting this after attempting install of the cumulative updates package.
My FDC version is FDC 3.14.0

Do you have version 1.0 on CD ?

check the FAQ here : http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/fdc_faqs.htm

in case you reinstall from scratch make sure to delete the FDC folder in case it is still there

Also sounds like something may have uninstalled a previous version of .NET

I have FDC Live Cockpit version 3.6 on cd with the registration key.
I also cant open PFE, REX or FTX Central and suspect the problems may be related.

Happy to report problem solved. Somehow .NET was corrupted and after much google searching found a tool to fix .NET issues.
Now FDC and PFE are loud and clear. Also have REX and FTX Central working.
