GSX Demo - couatl.exe unable to start correctly **SOLVED**
« on: August 28, 2015, 02:12:48 pm »
I'm looking to purchase the GSX ground services for FSX Steam edition. Downloaded and installed the demo to make sure it was compatible. Installation seemed to go ok but when I start FSX I get the error message couatl.exe - Application Error (0xc000007b). I installed with both firewall and windows defender switched off. Any help would be appreciated

That seems to be a problem of missing/corrupted system libraries in your system. Try to download the VC++ 2013 runtimes from here:

Download and install the x86 version. Restart Windows after you installed them.

Thanks for the reply. I did re-install x64 version as I'm running Win 8.1 64 bit. Is the x86 version correct in this instance
