Couatl scripting engine hasn't started **SOLVED**

[edwardpat]

A bit of more information, don't know if it would be useful:
After downloading the .bin files, the installer asked to install the software in my C:\Program Files(x86)\ folder. I changed that to my C:\Users\***name***\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons folder. Should I leave the installer to select my folder installation or not?. It's Ok to change the installation directory for the good behavior of the app?.
Another information: during the first start of P3D after the installation of GSX, I noticed that no warning about activation of a new addon appeared. Should I wait a message like this if the installation is Ok?.
Please indicate what to do now, as I cannot use the software due to these installation troubles.
Thanks, Ed

After the latest update I no longer have the GSX in my Add-Ons dropdown

Same for me. Ran Live Update this morning and couatl is terminated after the loading of the aircraft and scenery. I also tried re-install of GSX and that did not resolve the issue.
The Windows event viewer shows couatl.exe crashing with "The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception". If it helps, I've attached the Windows error report.

Thanks Mark

Hello
Same issue here, despite i proceeded as mentioned on the pop-up. Reinstalled after a re-download of the full installer. No success.
I never had any problems with GSX before the last FSDT Live update.
Hoping soon a fix because difficult to do without GSX.

I have also the problem that my GSX stopped working, it was working fine yesterday after installing several Fsdt airports in P3DV4.5HF2  but it has stopped working after installing Fsdt Houston followed by an couatl live update this morning. GSX and couatl menu isn't even showing up under the addon tab and in the addon manager it says that it isn't activated. When I try to activate it it says that COUATL cannot start because of an anti-virus issue, I do not have an anti virus installed however plus I made sure that the addonmanager folder is excluded by the windows defender AV.

So the live update after the last airport on yesterday no problems but after houston today no GSX/GSXv2 anymore.

Waiting for info wat to do best.

regards.

After doing an update this morning, my GSX is gone, nothing in the addon manager either.
My icon for FSDT GSX UPDATE is NOT working also, so I'm totally out of business. It's like GSX is not on my computer.
HELP !!!!

Must be a  couatl issue as CYVR does not load either.  Hope a quick fix .
