Maybe the following could be of help. My setup is: The DU on a upgraded W10 computer while FSX is on another W7 computer. When I try to start the DU nothing happens, I get the blue circle doing some rounds and all ends there.
When however I start the DU whilst the FSX computer is not switched on, the DU does start. Initially I get the warning that the "data provider folder does not exist or is not availble", which is understandable as the Data provider system is not active. After that I start the FSX computer and the Data Provider. When on the DU TCP comm tab I check if the DU can see the FSX computer and it does.
When I then hit the OK button on the DU I get the warning that "data provider does not contain the requested Data provider files".
Just to be sure I reinstalled the data provider on the primary system but I kept getting the same error. I shut down the DU and tried to start it again but it did not start.
Would be great if somebody finds a solution.
