uninstall not happening
I have been playing the new MSFS2020 recently and a large part of the experience for me is an associated program called Flight Simulator Economy. In order for FSE to work I must use a small program called Simconnect. This handles communication between the FSE server and FS2020. Simconnect was working well until several days ago when it updated as part of the boot routine. Ever since then it hasn't worked at all. I have tried various things and also re-entered my password several times. Nothing helps. So I finally decided to uninstall Simconnect and then re-install. When I attempt to uninstall Simconnect I get an error which appears to say it can't be uninstalled because it isn't there. It was there and working fine until the update so it must still be there. I appreciate any help I can get. Here is the error code:

P.S. There are a large number of FSE players and they all use Simconnect and its working fine for them.
