- Turn off the firewall

- Configure the antivirus to add the whole Addon Manager folder to the antivirus Exclusions

- Run the FSDT Live update again

- If that doesn't work, download and install the FSDT Universal installer, and use it to UPDATE GSX.

- If that doesn't work, restart Windows and try again an update

- If that doesn't work, be sure your Windows is fully updated, perform all the updates, restart Windows and try again.

Good morning, I received a notice to update GSX in my P3d v4.5 . I closed the sim and pressed FSDT live update. the updater froze and couatl restart was requested. shut down my computer and restarted gsx was not in the p3d sim folder. I uninstalled GSX and installed a new universal installer, it froze. I uninstalled everything and add on manager this time. the installer froze again. i turned off microsoft firewalls emptied documents folder and tried downloading GSX2 ,the downloader timed out multiple times. i tried on my laptop and i could download there. So something on my computer is blocking the download. I have six airports from FSDT that are down. I cant apply serial numbers to them to get them to work, the installer freezes.

You haven't said anything about the antivirus and what you did to fix it. See my last reply.

You shouldn't have Uninstalled GSX because, the Universal Installer is not capable to install FSX/P3D products, only their full installer can so, as I've said in my previous post, you need to use the Universal Installer to UPDATE your products because, if you uninstall any of them, you need to reinstall them using their own full installer.

I dont have an antivirus software. I have tried to download GSX 2 it tries to download and times out message after a minute to a minute and a half. If the time out doesnt appear the file might not be corrupted.

Are you sure, you mean you have the Windows Defender Firewall, and in some way managed to *uninstall* Windows Defender antivirus ?

Please check again the antivirus and firewall and repeat the above procedure. Be sure the Live Update completes. Alternatively, try using the OFFLINE installer here:

https://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,26826.0.html

However, the Offline installer requires starting with a working full install first and if should be run AFTER the Live Update, only to be sure you are not affected by possible issue with the Cloudflare caching.

I can turn off virus and threat protection, and firewall and network protection from windows security.

good morning, I downloaded gsx2 to another computer and copied them to my computer. My windows must be fighting the down load some how.

Solved that one. someone posted a fix about missing jetways at Chicago and traffic global conflict. All fixed.
