Couatl starts manually, but not automatically with the simulator
virtuali:
While I think it's possible that in SOME cases the XML file itself might be a problem, there's still an underlying issue with MSFS not loading the file, regardless if it's correct or not, because it's wrongly trying to verify the license also for the child processes, in addition to itself.
Something it cannot be able do, since none of the .exe you'll eventually start from there would use the MS Store license, either because they are freeware (like Honeycomb drivers), or because they have their own licensing system ( Fenix, GSX )

I change the encoding in EXE.XML to "UTF-8" and it's been starting every app. Might want to try that. Here's the first line in my file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
virtuali:
Do you added a BOM or not ?
jsemmel:
I added BOM at first but MSFS2020 kept giving me CTD so I removed it and used only what you see in my post. Even the Fenix App loads ONLY when I launch a flight using the A320.
Ankh:
Ok, I took some second looks into my exe.xml and I realized that it was a complete mess, even the header got mixed up with simconnect.xml, I guess some addon did this corrupting my exe.xml. Now I tried to manually correct the whole .xml, lets see if this works now.
EDIT: not really, FSUIPC7.exe gets started correctly, couatl and Fenix does still not fire up. Funny thing: the couatl task symbol is there, but MSFS still tells me that the engine did not start and I have to manually execute the .exe to get it running. No idea why...
