hello everyone, please forgive me for resurrecting a very old post, but I just got steam edition and have a problem but my exe xml document looks very different.  

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
    <Descr>Launch</Descr>
    <Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Launch.ManualLoad>True</Launch.ManualLoad>
    <Launch.Addon>
        <Disabled>True</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Name>Addon Application</Name>
        <Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>
        <CommandLine></CommandLine>
        <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
    </Launch.Addon>
    <Launch.Addon><Name>EZdok camera addon2</Name><Disabled>False</Disabled><Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\EZCA2\ezlauncher.exe</Path></Launch.Addon></SimBase.Document>

I keep getting the permission asking every time I start up fsx se. Any help is very much appreciated. I'm just about tearing my hair out. I changed to steam to escape the boxed editions eternal bugs aha. 

Necroposting is frowned upon.  I have split you off into your own topic.

Changing the 6th line to "False" should do it for you. That is the global "Manual Load" switch for all add ons.
