During install or normal operation?

 

Sometimes it's just matter of moving the entry to a different location.

Hey Ben, I Don't Know !! - Question : Is there a Backup Xml File Anywhere ?? Question : Will the Xml File Regenerate on Boot, If Deleted - If You are Running FSX SE, Use this File to Compare with and or Replace with the SE file ?? - Be Sure to Backup Your XML File Before Fidling with it !! Hope This Helps - Johnman B)

Both. I first noticed when i started Active Sky next and it come up with an error about the DLL.xml and then i noticed GSX wasn't in the menu so i tried reinstalling it and it come up with an error saying there was an error with the XML. I just can't find an error in there.

That's another strange thing, I've tried a back up XML that was in the folder and it also has errors and also some products are working fine. I've also just tried deleting it to rebuild and Active sky is still saying the following. You will have to copy and paste the link's, they won't show by clicking on them for some reason.

Hey Ben, - Maybe You need to Start doing some Uninstalling, One Item at a time, to try and pinpoint whats giving You aggravation ?? - or maybe a Windows Restore ?? - Johnman B)

I've ran into the error on install a few times with Flight1 programs.  

 

My solution was to add .backup to the production dll.xml and/or exe.xml files and let the app I was installing recreate the xml files with just the entry for the program.

 

I then copied the single entry to the production xml, deleted the new one, and removed the .backup suffix from the production xml.  No issues after that.

 

However, I'm not sure what you would do on one that you've been running.

with your  gsx  error  simple  download  the latest addon manager  and  that will solve  your  gsx  error,  with a bit  of  luck it  might  also fix  your  asn  error  as well

Thanks for your help everyone. I found the issue. ChasePlane had made a change to the EXE.XML and it was corrupt. I put the back up in ChasePlane made and all is back to normal.  :smile:
