Requesting Help with a Corrupt exe.xml

Featured Replies

Hello, I noticed today that several addons weren't automatically loading as I would expect.  When I went to update GSX, the FSDT installer told me I had a corruption in the exe.xml.  It looks like the top of the text box is giving me more information on where the issue is, but unfortunately it is cut off (see image below).  The sim is starting fine, but I have to load programs like ifly, couatl, fenix manually.

Here is my exe.xml file content:

Hello, 

It seems that it's missing a <launch addon> entry.
