Title: Coutal Error
Post by: infus1on on April 29, 2013, 08:42:54 pm
I am getting the following error dialoge when attempting to load a flight" "The addon <unknown> is cuasing the Couatl Scripting Engine to restart. Details can be found in C:/users/username/Appdata/roaming/Virtuali/Coutal.err. Please download the and install the latest Stand-Alone Manager from"

The following action has been taken:

1. Uninstalled GSX. Downloaded new version from FSDreamteam
2. Downloaded the latest Stand-Alone Manager and reinstalled.
3. I have also researched the error on this forum and no solution was found that worked.

The error persists. Below is copy of the error log:

IOError: (13, 'Permission denied', u'C:\\Users\\Flying\\AppData\\Roaming\\Virtuali\\CouatlAddons.ini')

This clearly indicates you have a problem with your user account, because that folder, under normal conditions, you should always have permission to write into.

Right-click that folder (C:\\Users\\Flying\\AppData\\Roaming\\Virtuali\\), select Properties, select Security, and add YOUR user name to the list of users with read-write permissions. You shouldn't do this normally, but something in your user account has gone wrong.
