I moved your message, because it doesn't have anything to do with Megascenery.

If other modules (not FSDT) have also disappeared, it means there's an error in your DLL.XML. The installer should have notified you about it.

What happens if you just reinstall PHNL ? Do you get a warning about your DLL.XML having an error ?

I attempted to reinstall with the following msg: Runtime Error (at 116.2188)
ERROR on line O: the following tags were not closed SmBase. Document

This is not an issue of not having or losing buildings it is that my drop down menus that enables me to link with your products PMDG products and others is no loner available after I attemoted to instal PHNL. I believe it is a DLL.XML issue and I don't know how to correct it.

That's exactly what I've suspected: your DLL.XML had an error, the last tag is not closed. If you could post it here, I can show you how to correct it.

File is located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX

Are you sure that is the DLL.XML that is in use now, and not some backup from a previous install ? Because, it doesn't have any error. But, since you said that *all* your addons have disappeared from the menu bar, it might only related to a corrupted DLL.XML

It might also be the EXE.XML instead but, if the DLL.XML is fine, and the EXE.XML is corrupted, you should at least see the Addons of the DLL.XML. However, it might be worth checking the EXE.XML as well.

Have you enabled Explorer to show you the full file with the extension ? Maybe the file is there, but without the XML extension, it might be missed.

Umberto-
 I have attempted to open the exe that is a xml document and I get the following: Cannot file file C; \User\Richard Sr\Appdata\roaming\microsoft\fsx\exe.xml
so I believe I have used explorer correctly.

Here's the error:

xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>

It's missing the first 2 characters. It should be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>

So, you should just add <? at the start. I've included an already fixed EXE.XML here

I've already posted the correct version, have you changed something ? This XML file looks fine. You also need the DLL.XML file that you posted earlier, that looked fine as well.

If you don't have any installation errors anymore, it means you XML files are correct.

Do I need to reinstall your products and the others ie PMDG that also utilize the drop down menu?
