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:

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.

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.

But it's important you also clear the registry key.

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.
