No Host/Remote configuration on upgrade

I had been using version 1 over a local network with vpilot on the remote handling communications with PTT on the yoke and all working. I upgraded to v2 today but I did something wrong as I didn't/don't see a selection for the (host/remote) configuration I want run. So I have vpilot2 installed on both machines upgraded via the interface. I upgraded the remote first, then the FSX machine on which previously I only ran Traffic Proxy. When I run vpilot on the "remote, " it says "no flight simulator found" and closes. On the FSX, it appears to work normally but nowhere have I seen a choice for host/remote configuration. I did uninstall and install via a new download with no change.

 

Yikes, what is wrong?

Are you using the different shortcuts vPilot installs in the Start menu, e.g. "vPilot Host Mode" and "vPilot Remote Mode" ?

Yes, that was the problem. I was using the desktop shortcut. Thanks much. I'll complete the configuration and make sure all is good.
