Addon Manager update broke the QualityWings 757

The installer does A LOT more than just creating a folder and copying files, it must register the dll with the sim, in their proper location, change configuration files, set permissions, etc, etc, etc.

Never, ever, do things manually, when there's installer available.

Now, it would be best if you remove all the the things you added manually, then download and install the current version of the Stand-Alone Addon Manager.

I have already gone through several permutations of uninstalling and reinstalling the QW757 and the new version of the stand-alone addon manager in different orders and this is the only thing I could do to get it to work.

Umberto so my installing the addon manager and folder is incorrectly installed on the root directory of my K:\ drive in K:\addon Manager.   I'm seeing the SODE in my sim but not the addon manager nor buildings  ???

don't know what I did different . but when I look at addons in the sim the only thing I see is FSUIPC, and SODE.

I'm sorry, but that's the wrong way, and you'll have plenty of issues, like double Addon Manager loaded, and unlimited other conflicts.

I'll repeat it again: this is the one and only way to have the Qualitywings working:

- Remove ALL the mess you created by manually copying things. You did it manually so, in this case, uninstallers won't help you so, remove each and every copy of bglmanx.dll and .dat you might have placed around.

- Uninstall the Addon Manager and the Qualitywings. Be sure you reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager?" at the end. This will clean up your DLL.XML file, to be sure no leftovers are left.

- Install the current Qualitywings 757 using the full installer.

- Do not touch anything, and install the current Stand-Alone Addon Manager.

As I've said, this is confirmed to work.

I wanted to write an updated installation guide but, the issue is, people are bombarding the forum with questions, so I hardly have time to reply to them, let alone even thinking writing such guide...

Have a look at this post of mine on LM forum, which might be helpful, until we manage to have the updated guide:
