FSX Addonmanager doesn't display
jc880:
Uninstalled two instances.
Installed the above in the order given.
My control panel shows one instance of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
SimmConnect shows same exact errors right after reply yes to validate prompt.
This is looking more and more like a problem with my XP SP3 installation wouldn't
you think?

Sent you a PM, would like to have a look in your system directly.

Hello,
I am facing that same problem of the Addon Manager option not showing up in FSX.
I think there is definitely something wrong with the latest version of the standalone addon manager file because when I reinstall KORD v2 scenery (which includes the reinstallation of the addon manager) the option reappears ingame (after I delete the lines from my trusted publishers in de fsx.cfg file and get the question wether to accept or not at launch)
hope this information can help.

There's nothing wrong with the Addon Manager installer, jc880 problem wasn't related at all with it, he had Simconnect itself not working in fact, he had no "Addons" menu at all in FSX, so no module worked, not just the Addon Manager.
And no, the version included in the Stand-Alone installer and the one included with KORD are both the latest version, but are not 100% identical, one is linked using a newer version of the VC++ runtimes, hoping that at least one version would work on any user's system.
In your case, it seems the newest version of the VC++ runtimes has a problem on your system. Of course, the Stand-Alone Addon Manager comes with the correct version of the runtimes and install it using the official MS installer, but that one doesn't always seem to be able to fix any problem.
You can try the suggestion already given here:
- Go in the Windows control panel, and Uninstall ALL the istances of the Visual Studio 2005 redistributable runtimes. You might have more than one version: remove them all.
- Then, after removing everything related to VS2005, reinstall again these 3 files:

AFTER installing all the runtimes, it could be useful running Windows Update and update everything, including the optional downloads.
But, in any case, if installing KORD works for you, it should't be a problem, apart for the different dependency, the Addon Manager that comes with KORD IS the current and latest version, and the KORD installer is brand new, so it's includes also the latest support files that normally come only with the Stand-Alone installer.
Denthibbe:
Thanks for your quick answer. Yes I was supposing that the KORD installer being recent it would provide with the latest version of the addon manager. Therefor I don't really mind the fact that the standalone version is not giving me the result I need.
I read the whole post and did all the instructions you gave allready (the only difference being that I'm using the 64bit versions of those redistributables, do you reckon that could play a role?)
Anyway when I uninstall/reinstall the standalone version I'm getting these results :
0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61259.0
4.06087 Exe Launched: Path="fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe" CommandLine="" Ver
sion="2.0.0.2247"
8.16315 DLL Failed to load. Check for missing dependencies.
8.16334 DLL Load Failed: Error=-3 Path="bglmanx.dll"
I reinstall the KORD scenery and remove the 2 lines out of my trusted section in the fsx.cfg (no uninstall made here) :
0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61259.0
4.06087 Exe Launched: Path="fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe" CommandLine="" Ver
sion="2.0.0.2247"
6.39896 DLL loaded: Path="bglmanx.dll" Version="2.8.1.1"
As I said the only difference from your instructions is the fact that I had to install the x64 versions of the redistributables, other that I doing everything as intructed.
Anyway it works in the end so no sweat ;p
