EDIT: Upon reinstallation of FSX to a new folder and redownloading the newest version of GSX I DID get asked permission to run the dll's. However, now I'm getting an error saying basically the addon manager can't load and to check for missing .dll dependencies. I've reinstalled all my VC 2005 libraries and am double checking simconnect, but it is still rather frustrating.
This clearly proves the problem doesn't have anything to do with GSX, and it's a problem of missing system library on your system.
GSX cannot obviously automatically "fix" any problem if missing libraries issues on your system: if it could, we should probably start selling it as a system repair tool instead of a flight sim tool. Such tool, unfortunately, doesn't exists, because it's simply not possible to be able to fix automatically every problem with missing libraries on any system.
"Missing dependencies" means you are missing some libraries in your system required to run a program. GSX has the following dependencies:
- The Simconnect SP2 version, which comes with either FSX SP2 or the Acceleration Pack. There might be multiple releases of Simconnect installed, and this is normal, but for GSX to work, you need THIS one working.
- Simconnect *itself* requires the VC++ 2005 SP1 runtime libraries, found here:

- In addition to Simconnect, we also require the VC++ 2013 runtime library, which is installed automatically by our installers, so I doubt it's missing. However, it can be downloaded from here:
