Very strange and, of course, I cannot reproduce it. Try this:

Copy this file:

Addon Manager\Couatl\QlmLicenseLib.dll

Into this folder:

Addon Manager ( the root where the updater is located )

And try again.

Your suggested fix worked. Below is the full dump from the error to help you debug it further.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

<configuration>

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Thank you but, it doesn't say much more than the first screenshot. I made a small fix now, it should work without requiring to copy the file manually.

[micstatic]

so I just ran the updater.  Same exact issue.  Tried copying the file you recommend.  It was already there. but replaced it.  Still getting the error.  So unable to get the updater to run.  any other ideas?

So for whatever reason if I run the CouAtl_updator from the actual fsdreamteam directory it now works.  Not sure why my desktop link went bad all of a sudden.  But I'm good now.

Couldn't get it past the QlmLicenseLib.dll file . Tried the above fixes. Also tried after restarting the computer.

I'm sorry but, I cannot reproduce the problem, the only possible explanation is your local cloudflare node is not updated yet with the latest version of the file we put online yesterday. 

I'm sure it will start working normally if you try again Depending on your location, since cloudflare must update 200+ servers, so the exact time is not the same for everybody.

[irishcurse]

Having the exact same issue. I downloaded and installed GSX II again . Wasn't getting past step 2 until I did that . Now stuck at step 10. Ill try manually installing that file as suggested and report back




Edit: That fix worked. Thanks!

Edit: That fix worked. Thanks!

Please clarify, do you still have to copy the file manually now ?

[sho69607]

Same exact issue here even after copying the qlmlicensefile. Anything I can upload like a log file that might make solving this issue easier?

No, the log wouldn't help much, I know what happened, and it simply shouldn't happen anymore with the current version. Try this:

- remove the following files, if you have them:

Addon manager\QlmLicenseLib.dll
Addon manager\Couatl\QlmLicenseLib.dll

- try Live Update again

- And, be sure, 100% sure and absolutely sure you have added the whole Addon Manager folder to the antivirus Exclusion list.

[sho69607]

Okay I double checked the entire folder is on the exclusion list and after removing the QLM files listed I get an error saying the file can't be found. Should I try reinstalling gsx altogether?

The error simply shouldn't happen. Try the updater after a Windows restart. If that doesn't work, reinstall with the GSX full installer, which might do some extra clean up the updater doesn't do.

[kris tali]

after copying QlmLicenseLib.dll from c:\Program Files(x86) Addon Manager\couatl\ to c:\Program Files(x86) Addon Manager\ and running c:\Program Files(x86) Addon Manager\Couatl_Updater.exe, it worked.

But I wonder why I have two update exe files. One is Couatl_Updater2.exe and another is Couatl_Updater.exe
Which one should I use? When I run one after another, they seem to do their own updates.

[Captain Kevin]

Pretty sure you only need to run Couatl_Updater.exe. I think the other one checks if the first one needs updates.
