The GSX installer won't start

[virtuali]

Just found a way to have it working. I have created a shortcut with this path :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\Couatl_Updater.exe" /SILENT /INSTALLMODE=TRUE

That is precisely the shortcut the FSDT Universal Installer creates, if you had to create it again, it must be because you might have removed it, because it's surely created on your Desktop when first installing the FSDT Universal Installer the first time.

That's what I thought, but the last subsequent few updates just kept adding shortcuts (thus deleting the previous one), but without the extension /SILENT /INSTALLMODE=TRUE

@Umberto
Are you planning to update the framework issue at some point? I still can't install GSX...

Hi, I did not use MSFS for a long time and I wanted to update everything and I have exactly the same problems with the GSX Installer, idem forr the Offline Installer. I cannot use GSX anymore. Updated my whole system, several times…

Regards,

Tom

I have exactly the same problems with the GSX Installer

You can't say you have exactly the same problem, unless you post some kind of error log, that might have possibly be recorded in the Windows Event Viewer.

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED! :-))

Dear Umberto,
After many weeks of searching, I finally found the error that caused the FSDT installer to always shut down on its own!
The error is very trivial. The GSX software cannot handle a large upscaling of the window screen! My Windows PC has had a scaling of 175% for years because I have poor eyesight. Now I accidentally set the scaling to the normal value of 100% to do some video editing. And lo and behold – GSX works perfectly! Thanks again for your support!

Well, I'm happy for you it worked, but I tried 175% now, and it works just fine, other than I can't see all buttons because my screen is 1440p high, but the program worked. I also tried 150% which is enough to show the whole window on a 1440p, worked just the same.
