Title: fsx wont start after reloading full gsx installer
Post by: fifthtexas on November 03, 2015, 09:43:56 pm

I found some of the things was not working in gsx, so I read that it was that I needed to run the full gsx installer from the website.
but since doing this I can not start my fsx, it just opens up then closes. any ideas how to fix this?

The most likely cause it's the antivirus, which has mistakenly blocked *some* files, allowing other to be installed, and causing a mess in the installation with old/files mixed up.

- Download and install with the antivirus off

- 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.
