Your mistake is installing GSX *INSIDE* FSX. This is not how our installer defaults to, and it's NOT the best choice. To fix your mistake:

- Uninstall everything from FSDT. Reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?"

- Download the latest installer for GSX. DO NOT use an older installer, one that used to install into the sim by default.

- Reinstall GSX ONLY. Installing the Addon Manager is not required, since it comes with GSX, of course.

- If you have enough space on C:, just accept the default folder. If you don't, select F:, which will install into F:\Addon Manager.

The problem of missing menu items under the Addons menu it's usually caused by one of these:

1) Defective antivirus. Download and install with the Antivirus disabled AND configure the antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning BEFORE starting the sim.

OR

2) Missing/Corrupted VC++ libraries in your system. See solution in the "Addon Manager not showing up in P3Dv4 **SOLVED**" thread:

You don't see to understand: if you followed my instructions, which suggest to NOT install "into" FSX (now the installer let you do that), it's entirely normal you wouldn't see any "Fsdreamteam" fodler "IN" you FSX (assuming with "in", you mean "inside the FSX folder): that's precisely the point of installing OUTSIDE the sim, that you won't install any files inside of it!!
