Here I have to Log
From your log, it seems you changed the installation folder for GSX and, instead of accepting the default location, decided to manually install "inside" the main MSFS Package folder, which is a folder protected by special permission which should never be used, especially considering you haven't even chosen the Community folder, but the Package folder outside of it, which is completely wrong.
Uninstall GSX first from the FSDT Installer, then remove the FSDT Universal Installer as well and then remove this entry in the registry key using REGEDIT:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FSDreamTeam\root
This will allow to chose the destination folder for the FSDT Installer again on the next reinstall. DO NOT install "inside" MSFS!!! Chose any folder you like ( the default is of course perfectly fine ), on any drive, but not try to install anything inside the sim, special permissions on those folders will prevent anything from working.

I now get this error:

I now get this error:
You are getting exactly the same error, because you haven't done what I asked to do, more likely you skipped the part of removing the registry key so, on the next install, the installer would allow you to choose a folder.
-
It allowed me to change the folder and i put it to C:\Program Files (x86) and I removed the whole fsdreamteam registry

If you really did this, you can't possibly have this in the log, saying the GSX menu is located here:
C:\\Users\\Philip\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalCache\\Packages/MSFS/fsdreamteam-gsx-pro/html_ui/InGamePanels/FSDT_GSX_Panel/menu
That indicates you reinstalled in the same place as before. Or, you haven't made a new log after reinstalling.
-
I will uninstall everything which has to do with gsx and reinstall it to C:\Program Files (x86) like it suggests

But it's important you also clear the registry key.
-
I'll clear the whole folder ok?
-
Yes, it should.
Also, remove this folder:
C:\\Users\\Philip\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalCache\\Packages/MSFS/ ( only the MSFS folder, don't touch the parent Packages!! )
In case the uninstaller couldn't remove it automatically.

This popped up again but i dont even have an MSFS folder inside my packages folder and the installation doesn't create one.
I have the store version of the sim if thats the problem
-
The only possible reason for that error, is the FSDT registry key hasn't been set by the FSDT installer, which of course is not normal, since it should always be able to set it.
Have you possible removed the FSDT registry key *after* the installation ? That's wrong, you should do it before, in order for the installation to allow you to choose a folder on the next reinstall.
-
I removed everything befor the installation

This leave us with the FSDT registry key hasn't been set by the FSDT installer, which of course is not normal, since it should always be able to set it. Have you checked if the key is there, AFTER the installation ?
-
This was set again
-
This was set again
You are looking at the GSX folder, which is not what I said to remove and to check. The key I said to remove is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FSDreamTeam\root
You said you removed the whole FSDreamTeam key, which means it should have been removed but now, to see if it's back ( it should ), you shouldn't check inside the GSX sub-key but, as I've said, main FSDreamTeam key which should contain the "root" entry, which should point to the install folder.
-
This key is created

Are you maybe staring GSX from a different user than the one that ran the installer ? And, of course, does the C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager folder exists ?
-
yes that folder exists and is accessable from my user ands not only from admin.
Could it be possible that theres a problem because I run Microsoft Flight Sim under my own user and the installation has to be permitted by administrator
-
And again: are you maybe starting GSX from a different user than the one that ran the installer ?
-
I am running gsx from my user account and i ran the installer under this account too but I had to put in the admin password to be able to install it
-
I am running gsx from my user account and i ran the installer under this account too but I had to put in the admin password to be able to install it
So your normal user account is limited ?
-
yes
-
I think the easiest solution is just giving you admin rights on your user, then reinstall everything again. A whole lot of products will start working so much better after that.
-
Could I try transferring the keys to my user account?
-
Keys shouldn't be a problem.
-
I had a similar problem trying to install the justflight hawk t1a, I moved the whole microsoft flight simulator to the admin account and then abck to my user account, is that a possibility?
-
Please don't do anything other than what I said to do. Moving the whole simulator seems to be unnecessary long, risky and not required, when I only said to grant you admin accounts, and reinstall the FSDT Installer and GSX.
-
Is there a possibility other than that because i acually dont like to give my account admin rights since i install quite a lot on it
-

Since you said yourself you have to insert your admin password to install, by not giving your user admin permission, the only result is that you have to insert your admin password each time because, if you don't fully trust something you are installing, you shouldn't install it in the first place. Installing it and giving the password, is *exactly* the same.
To make it more clear: an hypothetically dangerous program would be able to do exactly the same damage if you installed it as admin ( by giving it the admin password upon install ), even if you revert to a standard user when running it.
-
I dont install a lot of things with admin password but a lot without like apps which dont require admin password to install

Well, of course you should only do it for apps that requires it, but it doesn't change the above concept.
-
Why dont you make an installer which installs gsx only on the local user without admin rights
-

The installer requires admin rights because it needs to register some libraries, which cannot be done unless the installer is run with admin rights. Sorry, this can't be changed.
-
Nad that it installs it only on the currnet users paths?

It installs where you want it to install, and it will give all users permission to access that folder so, the installation place is irrelevant, your problem is that you are running GSX with an user account that doesn't have the same permissions as the account the ran the installer.
As I've said, just give your user admin rights and reinstall the FSDT installer and GSX. Sorry, I don't have any other solutions right now.
-
I rrun it with all permissions but it tells me i shall warrp to the trial mode airport in the gsx menu even tough I baught it
-
I have tried activating it thrrogh the license wizad on my user account without admin perms but it wont work

I'm sorry, but I could only report the other user with that problem fixed it that way, I think you found that post. As I've said, just give your user admin rights and reinstall the FSDT installer and GSX. Sorry, I don't have any other solutions right now.
