GSX now can’t find MSFS
« on: Today at 05:22:43 pm »
Hello
I’m unable to update GSX installer or get live updates as for some reason GSX now can’t find MSFS 2020 on my PC !
Is there a simple resolution to my problem ?
I’ve disabled Anti Virus etc and tried downloading the latest update but it’s not working !
Everything seems to be working in sim !
Thanks
Lee

This usually happens when your Windows user account has limited permission, so it's effectively another user from the admin, which the installer must run with, otherwise it couldn't create Symlinks.

However, the latest installer was specifically updated to provide for this case, but first we need to be sure you have it, so try the Offline installer first. In theory, if it finds different users with different permissions, it should show a list of community folders founds, in case the one for the admin user doesn't exists.

See my above explanation. Does it work if you give yourself admin permissions ?

MSFS Not Installed

Hi everyone, today I tried to open the executable to update the program and I got this message saying that the simulators couldn't be found. Could you help me?

I have a problem with: FSDT Universal Intaller (MSFS Not Intalled)
I already tried doing: Reinstall FSDT Universal Intaller
I already tried doing: Reinstall MSFS 2024
I already tried doing: Reinstall Windows 11

This error popped up without me touching anything. I hope someone can.

Attached Log & a picture

Thank you very much.

Your log was useful, I think the detection of multiple users with different permissions we added in this version must have failed. Try again, there's an updated installed online now that should be downloaded automatically when you start it.

If it's still not working, please post an updated log
