This doesn't have anything to do with this thread, and instead it's caused by an incomplete install due to a bad downlead caused by server under stress during the first days of release.

The solution:

Karim.K:
 I had it installed on C drive (which is NTFS type) while MSFS is in E drive (which is Exfat). After installation the installer would say "Not linked" rather than "installed". Even when you click to link it nothing happens. I uninstalled GSX and installed the addon manager on the E drive and still same issue. Also tried to manually symlink using command prompt as the link you provided but to no avail.

Another issue is the constant updating over and over again. But would appreciate more help on what else to do as nothing is working to get GSX linked to the community folder.

Please help in solving this issue.

That's exactly what is supposed to happen: Symbolic links are not supported on exFat drivers. The top post of this same thread shows all possible solutions.

Karim.K:
Okay so say that the addon manager and both GSX files are on the C drive. Where do I create the simlink ? If I choose a junction or symlink to connect each folder to the community folder then it says that file already exists. Unless i want to create a linked file, then where do I place the linked file ?

The Addon Manager is not the problem, the problem is your MSFS is on an exFat drive, and Symbolic links simply cannot be created there. I strongly suggest reformatting as NTFS, in addition to support all Windows features, it's a more robust filesystem, more resilient against file corruption.
