[SOLVED] Couatl64_msfs.exe is corrupted and unreadable
« on: September 14, 2024, 10:33:13 am »
Hi, after the last update my gsx doesn't work anymore.

Coautl64_Msfs.exe is corrupted and unreadable.

Nothing on my pc has changend (like virus scanners etc).

Even reinstalling won't help.

Please advise.

I fixed it.

Unlink and uninstall from the FSDT installer.

Remove FSDT installer via software panel in Windows.

Then reinstall. (I used the offline version; don't know if this makes a difference)

The file is corrupted because your antivirus has mistakenly flagged it as a threat, so it tried to "heal it" from a non-existing threat, making unreadable.

Configure the antivirus and be sure you add the whole "Addon Manager" folder to the antivirus EXCLUSIONS, then run the FSDT Installer and do an update CHECK on GSX Pro.

After last update, same issue. The thing is, I don't use an antivirus at all, so what's the reason then?

If you're running Windows 10 or 11, you have the default Windows anti-virus.

I have same problem despite exclusions added for Addon Manager folder in both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes which I run.

I have tried de-installing and re-installing as well as a check etc within FSDT Installer and still unable to execute the Coualt64_Msfs.exe (corrupt and unreadable)
