I have done an advanced search and verified I haven't overlooked a tip or assist offered before, but my modification to the dll.xml file is not resulting in the Tools appearing in the FSX menu bar.I have SDK1a patch, and the SDK is installed in the default location: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator x sdk (not in the FSX directory, note I have Vista64)I have FSX Sp2 installed in the default location: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator xI have modified the dll.xml file both by copy/paste and by changing the relative path to absolute path but to no avail:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?><SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\Object_Placement.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Options</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGOptions.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Events</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGEvents.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>PMDG Sounds</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>PMDG\DLLs\PMDGSounds.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Addon Manager</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon></SimBase.Document>I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?Thanks,

If you have FSX SP2 installed, then you also need to be using the SP2 version of the SDK.Tim
