Sounds like a problem with your dll.xml file to me. Can you please open this file in notepad, and paste the contents here? We'll try to get you straightened out...though this Q really belongs in the FSX forum. :(

Hoi Hernandez! Make a backup copy of your messed up 'dll.xml' and delete the .xml (not the backup actually ;)) -- Then start FSX again and confirm all messages and security warnings by FSX. You might be presented with some of them later, but I'm sure that you already know about things like that. This way, a new dll.xml file is created, with all registered products freshly inserted.

Yep, that looks somewhat messed up. Do what the post above said, and just rename your dll.xml file to something like dll.xml.old. Then when you start FSX you will be bombarded with the "Do you want to run this addon?" messages. Say yes, and it will build you a new one.....or at lease it should.If you are still having problems after that, let us know. It looks like the file got corrupted and some of the entries as well as the format are missing/incorrect. If worse comes to worse, you can post all of your previous dll.xml files, and either I, or someone else can attempt to reconstruct your file based on the addons listed in your previous dll.xml files.

Hi, i did it... but when I start FSX it doesn't ask me to accept anything, I dont have any security warnings... i have many dll.xml with the name of my other addons ex: DLL-XML-20110331200802.AES and DLL_XML_Before_Airbus X_was_installed...

Hello, Try downloading the Add-on Manager from FSDT website run as admin.... See if that fixes your problem...

DLL.XML is not something you can simply delete and have automatically rebuilt with all the correct entries. The dll.xml you posted above looks OK - no problems with the format. I'm wondering if the problem occurs because you have uninstalled the addon manager with the FSDT scenery, but the entry remains in your DLL.XML. Try disabling it by changing its entry to read <Launch.Addon> <Name>Addon Manager</Name> <Disabled>True</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> Or simply delete this block from your DLL.XML. This will only work if you have no other FSDT scenery installed, since these rely on the addon manager.

Guys,Copying and pasting the text from the dll.xml into a forum post does NOT let someone see if there's problems with the formatting of the endline characters, which is the most common type of corruption of the file we see at support here. The only way to verify the integrity is to check the file using a text editor that can show those hidden characters like Notepad++. JR, if you want to send your dll.xml to me in a support ticket I'll take a look and fix it if there's anything wrong.
