Post by: Alti on March 17, 2024, 12:46:15 pm

Hello, now its also mine Problem.
GSX Installer give me that Error "Corrupt EXE.XML file" and wont to modify that file,
so after startup MSFS my GSXpro will not start. Also the same error when run LiveUpdate.

I would like to know, what is here Corrupt in the xml? What i have to correct, so that my programms will run again, and GSX will startup on MSFS Start.
I have the MS-Store-Version. My EXE.xml here as attachement.
Thanks for Help,
Thomas

If you open the EXE.XML with MS Edge, it will confirm the file is corrupted, at line 25. And in fact, here:

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Aerosoft VDGS Driver</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>L:\MSFS_Download\Community\aerosoft-vdgs-driver\aerosoft-vdgs-driver.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon></Launch.Addon>

You can see the error: two </Launch.Addon></Launch.Addon> closing tags in a row, which is a mistake.

Just remove one, so line 25 will look like this:

</Launch.Addon>

Save the file, open it again with MS Edge to confirm is clean, and it will work.

Hello Umberto!
thank you for that Tip: I did not know, that Edge says what line is corrupt.
I have corrected this, and now Installer and Liveupdate works great again!
GSX also is in my Sim Available.
