Are you updating from a very old version ? If yes, download and install the full installer.

No, was a version from before 2 weeks (new install). It is not possible now to use the full installer, there is another failure then. Will send a screenshot tomorrow.

Try this:

- Uninstall every FSDT product you have

- Reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager"  ( this is IMPORTANT )

- Reinstall all FSDT products you have, but only using their latest installers.

As clearly explained on the page which used to host the Stand-Alone Addon Manager, since 2017, the Stand-Alone Addon Manager is not required, and the only thing you need to use is the Live Update.

Done, still having the issue.

- Open REGEDIT

- Check this key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FSDreamTeam

What do you have there ? The most important key is the "root". It is there ? Does it have the correct value  ?

Hi!

I have the same issue after a clean install of the new GSX. I've deinstalled it and deinstalled the Addon Manager too, then reinstalled GSX but I still get this error message when the updater runs after the installation (and also if I start it manually).

My registry shows the correct path "D:\Prepar3D v4\Addon Manager" for "root".


Best regards

Karsten

The root key is there and it has the full path to my Addon Manager.
