There's nothing wrong with your dll.xml file after the KSFO installation (which is the same installer as FSDT anyway), it would have been easier for me to check, if you posted the actual file here, instead of a screenshot of it.
However, it doesn't seems wrong, it's just not cleanly formatted, which still indicates something wrong happened during the installation (because we run a reformatting tool at the end of the install to clean up that file). However, not being cleanly formatted it's not a problem at all with an XML file since, the whole point of an XML file is not being dependent on formatting: as long as all the tags are properly open/closed, the file is still a legal XML file and will be parsed correctly by FSX. The only reason why we run a reformatter to clean it up at the end, it's ONLY because OTHER 3rd party installer, that are unable to deal with XML files properly, and mistakenly threat them as being text files, can be confused, which is why we clean it up at the end.
For some reason, yours haven't been cleaned up (perhaps the antivirus has even killed the reformatter...which is absurd, considering it's a standard W3C utility) but, as I've said, the file is correct.
If it wasn't, you wouldn't see ANY 3rd party module. If you see the Addon Manager menu, it means the DLL.XML is OK.
Which is why I asked to check for COUATL instead. Do you see its menu ? The Couatl program is in the EXE.XML, not in the DLL.XML.
Bakern:
Thank's for answer.
This thing happens every time i install a scenery who use addon manager and coatl, seems you have to take look at that reformatter. ???
I have now disabled AV totally, uninstalled KSFO (addon m.\couatl also), deleted "trusted" section in FSX, and restarted my pc, disable my AV again, installed KSFO.
I have followed your install routine, all the way, and get this result:

Checking other scenery's who use AddonM.\Couatl, same thing, terminals\buildings are gone. Period.!!
I'm getting real frustated over this addon\couatl "thing" every time i install a new scenery with addonm.\couatl are in use, please fix this one time for all.

The reformatted works and, as I've said, it's not really needed, it's just a precaution because, if you run OTHER installers (not ours) that can't handle XML files properly, they can't be confused by an unformatted XML line. So, it doesn't have anything to do with your issue.

That's to be expected, if there's no Couatl, no scenery that requires it will work, now we need to understand why it's not working on your system. Please standby for a check we need to do here.

Hello, I own your KFLL scenery and today I went to try the new KSFO 2.0 and also lost all building.
After a bit of checking I discovered the fault is in couatl.exe.
FSX tries to open the new couatl.exe and it immediately closes down.
I then copied the last version of couatl.exe over the new version the FB installer downloaded
and couatl.exe is now lunching ok so it appears we have a problem with the new couatl.exe.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and as i said couatl usually runs fine, also no AV.
Bakern:
Ok, thank's.

Just for your info, this issue happens with your's installer too, i have to manually edit dll.xml after installing scenery who are using this addonm\couatl, it's not a big issue for me but i'm thinking of thoose who maybe can have a issue with it.
