- As described here also used the Universal Installer
- There is no more AntiVirus at this point, completely uninstalled
- I did create a logfile, see below
- Not sure if that is of relevance but I do have MSFS installed in D:\FS2020 and P3D in D:\P3DV5. Somehow the MSFS path is listed in the log file even though I am 100% sure that I did not select it anywhere in the installation process.
Your log clearly shows what the problem is, and is that you are still getting an OLD version for some reason. The current version for P3D is 4642, while you still have 4475, which it's just NOT ONLINE ANYMORE, ANYWHERE!!!
So, clearly, something is blocking the download, because version 4475 is months old and we don't have it anywhere.
Or, alternatively, the updater is downloading the correct version but, the antivirus is preventing it to install it, so you are stuck with the previous version.
And yes, I see you said "there's no more antivirus" and you said it's "completely" uninstalled. I'm not even sure it's possible to uninstall the default Windows Defender so, maybe you uninstalled a 3rd party antivirus you had, so now the default antivirus came back ?
And, not a single time, we ever suggest to "uninstall" the antivirus so, why you did that. We NEVER suggest to uninstall anything, and surely not the antivirus but, instead, do as follows:
- Configure the antivirus and add the Addon Manager folder to the antivirus EXCLUSIONS. This is the proper way to do it, any other way is wrong, including uninstalling the antivirus, which is not always so easy and would imply the antivirus uninstaller really works without bugs and it implies the default Windows defender would then replace the one you just uninstalled, meaning you will STILL need to configure the Windows Defender.
If you really can't fix your firewall/antivirus problem, you can try this:
- UNINSTALL GSX and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?"
- Uninstall every other FSDT product you might have.
- After all of this, be sure the Addon Manager folder is removed. If it's not, remove the whole folder manually.
- DOWNLOAD and Install the FULL GSX installer again. The installer COMES WITH the latest version of couat.exe so, it's just NOT POSSIBLE you would end up with an old version again, assuming you did all the previous clean up.
- Eventually, after reinstalling GSX, reinstall the Universal Installer again and use it to update GSX.
