FSX-SE and Scenery/coualt problem **SOLVED**

FSDT scenery problem after updating from Win 1706 to 1709 updates. FSX-SE with the new Windows update FSDT scenery only show stand-alone jetways but no buildings, etc and no Couratl shown in menu. Ran FSDT Live Update and Couatl shows in menu and install is correct. Switch to new FSDT scenery and Couratl is no longer available and scenery is a mess with little or no buildings and stray jetways etc. It appears that running the live update, Couatl will appear in the first FSDT scenery and proper install; however, switch to another FSDT scenery Couatl is no longer present in the menu and problems. All FSDT scenery is active. GSX is not installed. Any help with this crazy problem will really be appreciated.
Below is the dll.xml, which I hope will help.

You should never post an XML file like that, into a message, but Attach it to the post, because I cannot possibly sure if your real file has a problem.

Assuming your XML file is *really* like you posted it and you haven't lost anything when posting it, it's now wonder it doesn't work: it's missing two closing tags, the last </Launch.Addon> and the final </SimBase.Document> closing tag, which make it an illegal XML which will by skipped by the sim, so no modules will load and nothing will work.

You can check your XML by opening with Internet Explorer (ONLY IE, NOT another browser, not even Edge), and see if they open correctly.

Sorry for the mess I caused. You are correct a lot was missing from the paste using notepad++. I copied the dll,xml file as a text file, hope it is attached correctly. If not will try again.

Hope this file will help. Used "app crash view". It did state that FSX stopped working. FSX did not crash, only FSDT scenery did not install correctly because Couatl was not present. FSX still worked just loaded non FSDT scenery. Hope that is not to confusing and saved file corretly. Below is typical assumed problem?.

There's nothing wrong in your DLL.XML. However, I see you have lots of other 3rd party modules loaded so, maybe one of them is conflicting with our software, due to different version of the VC++ libraries used, since your crash log seems to indicates something in the VC++ library crashed.

Could you please try to disable every other 3rd party addon from your DLL and EXE XML files, by setting all their lines like this ?

<Disable>True</Disable>

This will allow you to test it without any of these modules, without uninstalling them. Disable them all, except of course Couatl.exe in the EXE.XML and bglmanx.exe in the DLL.XML file and see if the crash happens again.
