GSX addon Manger File LOcation!

[Empire]

Does the addon manager folder have to be located on the C drive under the location that was meant to be?

 I have installed my GSX/Couatl on another drive but when trying to open the Couatl update software or installer or the settings it doesn't open. Every time I have to copy the single exe file to the Addon MAger C drive to get it to open and update then copy all files over to where my other files are located on the E drive.

some reasons when on another drive outside the C drive just doesn't want to keep on running

You can install the Addon Manager on any drive but, if it's an external drive, it must be formatted in NTFS, see here:

Well, that's cool. But while I have addon manager folder/files on my F drive and trying to open the installer or the update installer it doesn't open  

The only way for me to resolve it to open is to copy the EXE file to the Addon folder on my C drive (default installation that it gives as all) run it, opens all fine and 10 other files appear in the Addon manager folder on the C drive, then copy all that to the Addon manager folder that I have on the F drive and after that, it does open but I have to repeat it every day.

When I open the installer file on my F drive it opens then close it down again and I do see the installer2 exe file there but it's broken. also, it's NTFS

Where you place it exactly, on that F: drive ? You might have permission problems in that folder, usually the root. I assure you installing the Addon Manager on an external drive into something like F:\Addon Manager, works perfectly fine, as long the drive is NTFS.

That's completely irrelevant where you start the *installer* from. The installer can be started from a completely different place, but will ask you where you want to install the first time.

Before when I had GSX for P3D it was on C/ProgramFiles(x86/Addonmanager

When MSFS GSX was released I did a complete clean install for couati, meaning I removed everything that has to deal with GSX and then did the install to a location ReserveDrive(F)/Mixed/FlightSimStaff/Addonmanager

The drive is indeed NTFS. So weird that it does this to me, other then maybe I just need to check permissions but even so that's should be all good

So I assume you also cleared the registry key from the previous install ? That would be the only way it could let you choose another folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\FSDreamTeam\root

  Nope I did not, and I have checked it and the root says it's (F)/Mixed/FlightSimStaff/Addonmanager
