GSX not installing?
« on: September 15, 2013, 12:19:48 am »
I am trying to install the Demo version of GSX on my computer, but it won't install. :( I have tried several times, but it still won't happen. The installer comes up, and it runs through everything, but it does not show up in FSX. It doesn't ask me to activate anything when I start FSX, nor does it show up in the menu bar in FSX. What do I do? I bought it thinking that it would solve the problem, but I can't even get the menu to show so I can enter the code.

You mean you don't have neither the "Addon Manager" menu, nor the "Couatl powered products" menu under the FSX "Addons" menu ?

Nope, Neither. Nor does it prompt me with a new addon when I start FSX.

- Go into Control Panel, Uninstall GSX and reply YES to the questions "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?" and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Couatl script engine ?"

- TURN YOUR ANTIVIRUS OFF.

With the antivirus still disabled, reinstall  GSX

- BEFORE launching FSX, configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe

- Now you can turn your Antivirus on, and launch FSX

- Note if FSX asks permission to run the Addon Manager and the Couatl programs, reply YES to both

- When FSX loads, check if you have BOTH the "Addon Manager" and the "Couatl powered products" under the "Addons" menu.

If still doesn't work, be sure you are NOT running FSX into any of the "Compatibility" modes under Vista/Win7 ( right-click on FSX.EXE, select "Properties", select "Compatibility" and be sure NOTHING is enabled in that page)

If still doesn't work, maybe you also have inadvertently Un-trusted us as a Publisher, so nothing signed by us will run.

To fix this, go to the Control Panel, under "Internet Options", look for the "Content" tab, there should be a "Publishers" button, that will list the software publishers that you trusted, and another tab with untrusted publishers. If you see "Virtuali s.a.s", remove it from both tabs (especially if it's under untrusted)
