It is possible to log the installation this way:

Open a command prompt, which can be done by typing CMD (then Enter) on the Windows address bar

Assuming you installed in the default folder ( if you haven't, you MUST replace this command with your actual path ) type the following:

CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager"

Again, adapt to your actual path if you changed it, and use double quotes if your path contains spaces

Now start the installer this way:

Couatl_Updater2 /INSTALLMODE /LOG

Run the install, and if it's still not installed at the end, exit and check for this file

LOG.TXT

Will if you did everything correctly, would have been created in the Addon Manager folder you were in.

ZIP the LOG.TXT file ( yes, ZIP IT!! ) and attach it to a post or send it by email to support, so I can see what's wrong with it.

Please follow my previous instructions to the letter.

I never said to edit the link properties, and you are editing the ones for the wrong .exe anyway. Don't change anything in my instructions, and if something is not clearly, clarify precisely which step of my instructions is not clear and I'll try to explain it better.

Your screenshot shows you haven't followed by instructions exactly, because you are in the Windows folder, which you shouldn't be, had you followed ALL steps without skipping anything.

You mean the FSDT Installer now shows "Installed" in green, but you don't have the GSX menu in the Toolbar?
