This seems to indicate some security related program such as a firewall or an antivirus, is blocking our server, so the installer can't download and the Couatl.exe file has been blocked too.

I've just ran an installer now, just to be sure, and there is no error message on download so, the server is surely up and, since we have two mirrors running at the same time, even if one of them wouldn't work, the download will go to the other one automatically so, the problem must be something at your end that is blocking the download.

Be sure no firewall, antivirus or anything similar is blocking access to our site.

You can always try reinstalling the Addon Manager Stand-Alone, that contains all the latest files so, it should work even if something is blocking the download. However, if Couatl.exe itself is blocked from executing, it won't work just the same.

here is a followup: I redownloaded the addon manager version  2.9.0.7, my firewall is disabled, along with my viral protection, good thing while in fsx upper tab for addons, has addon manager, and couati folder as well,  all my airports are back:   KFLL, KLAX,  KDFW, KORD,  CYVR.

Was having problems with JFK uninstalled vol2,  I did buy the original jfk

Please tell me what should be my next step, want to get back JFK vlol2, ev erything else is working and is back

You shouldn't have uninstalled JFK V2, I haven't said to do that... Now you should do it again:

1) install JFK V2 AND the 2.1 Patch

2) install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager after JFK V2

If you redownload the Full JFK V2 installer now, which has been updated to 2.1, you don't have to download the 2.1 patch and the Stand-Alone Addon manager.

it appears everything is fine, and I am a happy camper, I believe.  How can you be 100% that I do have KJFK 2.1 ? What can I look for?

The Full installer displays its version when it starts. And, the scenery is very easy to recognize, because there are now gate numbers on ground, which were not there in 2.0.
