Title: Problem with the "manual" icon
Post by: BBJN56 on June 21, 2025, 11:42:41 am
When I click the "Manual" icon in the FSDT Universal Installer, nothing happens.
Yet I do have the latest version of the manual (3.5.7) in the correct directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon manager\couatl\GSX\GSX_manual_MSFS.PDF
Thank you.

The icon works, but if it doesn't work for you, it might caused by a problem with the configuration of the default .pdf reader in your system.

The Installer doesn't do anything special: it simply use the standard Windows command to "start" a document, which (if everything is correct on your end) will automatically open the document with its associated reader, all done by Windows itself.

I uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader.
It opens PDF files correctly, but still not when clicking on the Manual icon!
However, the Adobe Acrobat process appears in the task manager.
Thanks anyway.

Meaning you see Acrobat being started when you click the manual icon ? If it's in the task manager, do you see its icon too ? If yes, has it opened the manual .PDF ?

Yes I see the icon in the task manager just after the clic on "manual". But no pdf visible ! And it works with any other PDF.

When you click on manual, what is the full path that GSX takes to open the PDF?
And what is the name of this PDF?

Thank you.
