Coautl Refuses to Load

(1/3) > >>

pannellg:
I placed my Cessna 172 at Ft. Lauderdale recently and noticed the buildings were missing, just like they had occasionally been missing at KPHX and KLAS.  Although the others are now present.  KFLL would not load.  I also noticed that coautl was not in its usual place alongside Addon Manager.  I went to the coautl file and clicked on the coautl installer several times in an attempt to get it back and received two different error messages: 

"Error
You must have a full path with drive letter; for example  C:\APP or a UNC path in the form \\server\share"

On another occasion I received the following:

"Error

Internal Error: an attempt was made to expand the "app" constant before it was initialized"

I had previously had success in getting coautl back by clicking on the coautl installer, not over the last dozen attempts.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong.  Addon Manager is present; all the FSDT and Flightbeam sceneries are showing installed and active.  Coautl is missing and refuses to load.

Appreciate any assistance you might provide...

From your description of the problem, it's not that Couatl is not loading, it seems the INSTALLER doesn't even start. And, in any case, there's no such thing as a "Couatl installer", maybe you confused it with the "Couatl_updater.exe", but you are not supposed to run it manually.

The Couatl is included with every FSDT installer, the easiest way to "reinstall" it, is to download and install the Stand-Alone Addon Manager.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I downloaded the addon manager and attempted to install it.  It got halfway through when I received the "Internal Error:  an attempt was made to expand the "app" constant before it was initialized."  It completed the install, but when I opened up FSX, the addon manager was there under the add-ons tab, but coautl was not there.  I attempted a second time to install and the error message came on again, and again no coautl.

I'm doing something wrong here...

In addition, I re-installed CYVR and installed the update but when I went there, I could see no buildings or ramp area.  All that were present were jetways and a few aircraft....

Just checked again (not that I wasn't sure but, it's always best to check everything) and no, it doesn't happen. It seems you have wrong or even missing registry keys for your FSX, try this utility here, to fix your FSX registry:
