GSX Couatl scripting engine hasn't started **SOLVED**
GoNufer:
I updated GSX with the FSDT Universal Installer and always the same. The add-ons do not display a GSX. In the Addon Manager only GSX is displayed, no GSX level 2. It just doesn't work anymore. Maybe I uninstall everything once and start all over again. But at the moment I just don't feel like it anymore.

That's because your Addon Manager is ANCIENT! You have a version that must be year's old, before GSX L2 even came out. The current version is 5.0.0.2 so, you are many versions behind.
Is it possible you installed an older product that used the Addon Manager ? The QW757 maybe ?
GoNufer:
I have never installed a QW product.
How can I install the latest version of Addon Manager? I installed everything with the latest FSDT installer and the addon manager remains the old one.

It's not possible to get such old version ( see the copyright notice in your screenshot, it's from 2016!!! ), if you just install anything from any current FSDT installer, the version you have is surely nowhere to be found, either inside any of our installers, and surely not anywhere on our servers.
So, the only possible way you could have got it is:
- You must have installed a VERY old FSDT installer, or an old QW757 installer: those are the only places you could find that version, it's not possible to get it anywhere else, because all installers since at least 3 years automatically downloads the latest files from our server.
- Your antivirus/firewall is still blocking the updater so, even if you ARE using the current updater and the current installer, they are prevented to get rid of that old version, which you clearly installed a while ago and forgot about it.
In this very thread, I already indicated a procedure to uninstall completely:

Another possible reason of getting such an old version, is a problem with one of your DLL.XML file, perhaps you or another utility that handles these files must have restored an old version, possibly pointing to an old version of the Addon manager to a file location we don't use anymore. This might happened together with a mixup of your registry keys between FSX an FSX:Steam
Check for the DLL.XML file in both these folders:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\DLL.XML
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX-SE\DLL.XML
Open the files, and see if they contain a line loading BGLMANX.DLL from a path that is NOT the one you installed the Addon Manager into, that's where you might still have an old copy of it, which should be removed.

Hey everyone, hope you all are having a good day. I was reinstalling p3d recently (just to have a fresh start and clear up any issues in the sim), and I have unfortunately come across an issue while re-installing GSX. Whenever I had into the addon manager in the sim to activate the serial, it said the couatl engine has not started. I have moved my Addon Manager folder to the Exclusions list of my anti-virus software. I have even gone as far as disabling antivirus completely. However, after several restarts and re-installations, I am still coming across this issue. I have also tried updating the gsx using the universal installer, and it however is still not working.
Would anyone happen to know why this is occurring? Thanks.
