GSX was running fine till I updated to the latest....Its gone from the add on menu of FSX and when I tried to reinstall GSX I get the notification as attached.....
Any idea why this would be so?
The antivirus is defective, of course, this has been discussed many times on the forum, for example here:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11052.msg85385.html#msg85385When the antivirus is bugged, the solution (other than switching to a reliable antivirus that works better), is as follows:
- DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL with the antivirus entirely OFF
- Uninstall GSX. Reply YES when asked if you want to remove the Addon Manager and the Couatl Engine. Reply YES to both questions.
- TURN OFF your antivirus. Don't just exit from its interface, but turn off the real time protection. Actual wording changes between products, however, it's the option to scan every file that gets open in real time, without user intervention.
- Reinstall GSX with the Antivirus TURNED OFF. Don't launch FSX yet.
- Configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:
YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\couatl.exe
YourFSXFolder it's usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X, if you installed it in the default folder.
- Now you can turn the antivirus back on, and launch FSX.
- Check you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu AND the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu
