What do you mean with "moved" ? You, as an user, or you moved files around ?

Do you use the CURRENT GSX installer, which is the only one that supports Steam ?

i downloaded the standalone installer from your site

If you mean  the Stand-Alone Addon Manager installer, that's not obviously the way to install GSX into FSX Steam Edition. You must download and install the FULL GSX Installer, NOT the the Stand-Alone Addon Manager installer.

This doesn't happen with the current installer. It only happens if you try to run an older GSX installer that supports only FSX on the FSX Steam Edition.

That seems like an antivirus bug, which has mistakenly removed files when installing.

If the antivirus is interfering, anything can happen and surely nothing will ever work.

- DOWNLOAD and Install the Full GSX Installer with the antivirus DISABLED

- Go into Control Panel, Uninstall GSX and reply YES to the questions "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?" and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Couatl script engine ?"

- With the antivirus still disabled, reinstall GSX

- BEFORE launching FSX, configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

steamapps\common\fsx\bglmanx.dll
steamapps\common\fsx\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe

- Now you can turn your Antivirus on, and launch FSX

- Note if FSX asks permission to run the Addon Manager and the Couatl programs, reply YES to both

- When FSX loads, check if you have BOTH the "Addon Manager" and the "Couatl powered products" under the "Addons" menu.

That's obviously wrong, and since Windows 8 COMES with an antivirus, it doesn't mean you don't have one or don't need one.

I haven't said anything about uninstalling and reinstalling. I said to be sure you have your antivirus off, and to be sure you use the CURRENT GSX Full installer, which support the FSX Steam version.

Also, try to download and install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX AFTER you install GSX.

That error is NOT an error that prevents GSX from working. The error means it file couldn't be patched, because the file has been modified from default. Since the FSX:SE and FSX versions of the file are different, you need the latest installer to recognize both of them and yes, we had a problem with the very first version of the Steam-compatible installer, but the current one is fine.

In any case, just contact me in private to arrange a TM session, but you must do it now, otherwise it will be tomorrow.
