It's not really "hidden", it's on the front page of our site, first line of the "NEWS" section.

You are making it sound FAR more complex than it really is.
1) You said already have the GSX installer. Which means the current inability for the Universal Installer to install products for FSX/P3D ( which WILL come, it's just it was more URGENT for MSFS, because in MSFS we don't have a free Trial, so we needed it as soon as possible ), is completely irrelevant to you.
2) You ONLY problem is the Live Update that runs at the end of the normal GSX installer didn't work for some reason.
So, what has been suggested in THIS thread, which is sticky, with a title that it's impossible to misunderstand, AND marked as solved on the assumption that somebody coming here would READ IT first.
It has the CORRECT solution already on the 2nd post, which is my 1st reply, that is only further confirmed by following posts, what you need to do is JUST THIS:
Just Install the Universal Installer and USE IT to Update GSX, and that's it.

Like it always is for everything in life, if you know what to do.

The program is named "Universal Installer", so it's easy to assume that you can/need to install products with it. I never said anything about relevance, it was an observation and clarification that might help others.

Yes, "UPDATE" being the keyword here. You accuse me of not reading the post, I came to this thread because it was marked solved. But it as a new user it is not clear exactly HOW it was solved.
I don't know why you're so defensive and accusative, we're just looking for the solution to (apparently sometimes) not being able to use GSX with the regular installer. Windows changes with updates, so does P3D. It's all software, things work unexpected sometimes. On my system the regular GSX installer constantly fails to properly add GSX in P3D and I figured I'd post the steps that worked for me. A few people already let me know my post helped them.
But I'll spare you your time, I won't be back and I'm not interested in arguing about semantics.

The solution I posted was extremely simple: use the FSDT Universal Installer.
Since the ONLY thing you can do with the Universal Installer for FSX or P3D products is install it, it goes without saying that, a new user trying that suggestions would soon have realize that, once it's installed, the only thing he could do with it ( other than the obvious deactivate/activate or reading the docs ) with GSX was to UPDATE, since clicking install would show a message saying that installation is not available for FSX/P3D products yet.
So, I just can't see how a new user that just read my post about using the Universal Installer could end up with a result any than the one that works.
