GSX Uninstalls Itself from my game (FSX:SE) how do you fix this?

[micaeljm00]

when I install GSX into my game and I launch it, it works but when I close my game and I reopen it later it's not there anymore, please help. I've had this problem for a couple months now and I thought it would fix itself.

After you exit the sim, check if you maybe have a Couatl.exe file still running in the Task Manager. It shouldn't but, if it does, it will prevent the software to run on the 2nd session.

Sometimes this happens because of the sim not shutting down cleanly for other reasons, or because of the antivirus so, be sure you exclude the Addon Manager folder from the antivirus scanning.

ok, thanks, next time i will see, if its not in my task manager then what?

Yes, after you quit the sim, the program is supposed to quit too in a few seconds (maybe more, if your sim is overloaded with stuff). If it doesn't ever quit, than you have a problem but, it's ok to force-quit it, if this fixes the issue.

ok, what should I do if it doesn't quit?

The log seems to indicate you are using an outdated version of the program. Try running the FSDT Live Update from the icon on the Desktop (when the sim is NOT running) to get all the latest files.

There wasn't any need to reinstall GSX but, if you did that:

- Be sure you use the CURRENT GSX installer. If not sure, download it from the website now, and be sure you don't use an old installer.

- Configure your antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning.

ok, i uninstalled everything from gsx and reinstalled it, with all the current installers and everything and still gsx is not in my add-ons menu

You haven't said if you did this:

- Configure your antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning.

Also, have you seen a request to trust the Addon Manager and the Couatl modules from FSX, the first time after installing ? If yes, have you allowed the modules to run ?

[micaeljm00]

yes, ive allowed it to run, and i just excluded it from the anti software

Are you missing only the GSX menu, or the Couatl and Addon Manager menus too ?
