Unable to install GSX

[Markn]

I was having an issue where GSX would not come out of trial mode. Decided to uninstall and reinstall. When I attempt to reinstall I get this message:

"The following applications are using files that need to be updated by Setup"
Couatl Scripting Engine for FSX/ESP

When I select the "Automatically close the applications" option, I get "setup was unable to close all applications"

Re-started the computer, and what do you know - installed and out of demo mode. Funny how that works

That's entirely normal.

The message first came out because you started the installer too quickly after exiting from the simulator, before all the opened application had a chance to close. The installer *tried* to close them automatically but, in some cases it can't, so the only way to continue was either:

- Using the Task Manager to terminate the Couatl.exe program

OR

- Restart Windows
