FSX want start after update **SOLVED**

[bkwood20]

I just installed an update for GSX and now FSX want start. Any thoughts?

[virtuali]

Surely a GSX update won't start FSX automatically on its own. I'm not sure I understood your question though...

[CaptainDuke]

Had the same problem with this UPDATE!
Solution: Install the old update again.

Can not be a coincidence?

I'm pretty sure "FSX won't start" is the right sentence...

My FSX wont start at all because of coutl.exe . I have tried to older updates but still the same result.

My FSX wont start at all because of coutl.exe . I have tried to older updates but still the same result.

This because Couatl.exe is NOT the cause of FSX not starting up. Couatl.exe cannot prevent FSX from starting because, by definition, an EXTERNAL .exe cannot prevent FSX to work. If Couatl.exe would crash for any reason, the worse it can happen is that it will just disappear from the Addon menu, and that's it, it cannot cause FSX to crash or not start at all.

So, your problem of FSX not starting doesn't have anything to do with Couatl.exe

Note that, if you see some kind of error related to Couatl.exe, you might be MISLEAD thinking that Couatl.exe is the cause of FSX not starting up, but it's likely the opposite way around: the same problem that is preventing FSX to start, might AFFECT Couatl.exe the same way. Since they BOTH use the VC++ 2005 runtimes, it's possible that a corrupted/missing/badly installed runtime would affect BOTH in the same way, so FSX AND Couatl.exe are not working for the same reason, and both are victim of the same problem.

I removed your other post about this: as explained many times on the forum, DO NOT post twice about the same problem, you won't increase chances to be replied to, and you will only delay response time.

It's best you contact me with PM to arrange a Teamviewer session, with your session id and password:

Because what you are reporting simply can't happen, but I would like to have a look at your system.

Ok Umberto that would be great,

Because Im 15 hours in total looking into the problem now and still cant find a result.

How can I arrange a teamview ?

Umberto,

I think the problem is directly related to Couatl.exe, becuse I have had this problem for  3 days now and cant seem to resolve it.

I installed a few demos of FSDREAMTEAM airports then uninstalled them, Now all of a sudden GSX doesnt want to work.

If I unistall GSX, the problem goes away, and FSX starts no problem, so It must be related to Couatl.exe.

I also had issues with my DLL.XML file and deleted it, I let it build a new one.

Could that have anything to do with it ?

Cheers

Rob

Also if it helps I am getting this error message when I try to install GSX

That error has been explained hundreds of times ready , it means you are trying to install GSX before Fsx is completely shut down. It has nothing to do with your issue.

And didn't you listen to Umberto at all? There are some key points in what he said that I think you missed.

you might be MISLEAD thinking that Couatl.exe is the cause of FSX not starting up, but it's likely the opposite way around: the same problem that is preventing FSX to start, might AFFECT Couatl.exe the same way.

And it seems you missed when virtuali explained how to have him assist you in Teamviewer , so read again:

Yes I did read what he said and I'm confirming that coutl.exe is the cause of my FSX crashes, its getting very annoying now because not only does GSX rely on coutl.exe, also the 757 which I just got from Qualitywings I cant even use now thanks to it acting up !

I have tested it from processes explorer that as soon as Coutl.exe kicks in it automatically shuts down FSX. Its NOT my anti-Virus preventing coutl.exe from starting
Its NOT VC++ 2005 ( As I have installed and re-installed all of them)
Its NOT Sim.Connect
Its NOT my FSX installation.
and NO , GSX was not mistakenly made an un-trusted Publisher.

Everything has been confirmed.

I have un-installed all FSDREAmTeam products from my PC and re-installed.

Only products which use coutl.exe prevent my FSX from starting up

I have read all of the previous forum posts related to this issue and still cant solve it.

And for your information pal! I did read what Umberto wrote and have sent him my details.

I'm still waiting his response.

Cheers !

And here's my evidence just for your own reference !

Ill take the video down as soon as my problem is sorted out.

Your video doesn't show ANY "evidence" that Couatl.exe is making FSX to QUIT (there's no crash) so no, Couatl.exe doesn't have anything to do with this. As I've said, many times already, Couatl.exe CANNOT cause FSX to crash, and will surely not force-quit it, which is what is happening here.

There clearly is a crash, Did you see FSX start up where you are supposed to select an aircraft ?

Or do you want me to include a video with processes exlplorer showing coutl.exe starting and then crashing FSX.

Umberto Its my system, I think I know what is going on, Ive been investigating the problem for 3 days !
