The log shows you have a very old version of the Couatl program  ( 2239, the current is 2298 ), which is normally not possible to get, since all installers automatically get the current version online.

So, either you manually replaced it with an old version for some reason, or something like an antivirus has prevented to install the current version.

Download and Install the current Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX, as suggested here:

 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.

- Install the current Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX 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
