Hello,

I just recently acquired MSFS 2024 and I am still in the process of setting my controllers and installing different addons. What I noticed is that addons that I have installed so far are launching as intended. I looked for my EXL.XML file in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 but it is not there for some reason it has not been created.

The addons that I am having problems with launching are:

- Navigraph Simlink

- Winwing SimAppPro (It launches when windows 11 LTSC starts but can't control my FCU with managed mode. Maybe a separate issue.)

- FS-ATC Chatter

 

Any ideas why the exl.xml file it's not being creted? Or I am looking for it in the wrong location?

 

I think you mean EXE.XML?

I think you are looking at the wrong location, try C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

Sorry. I stand corrected. Yes, it is the EXE.XML file that I can not find in my PC.

Thank you but I can't find a package by that name.

What I meant to say is that addons are NOT launching when I start MSFS2024.

 

When you installed it, did you make any changes to the install paths? 
 

you just need to find the right location. Maybe try searching for exe.xml? Use some search tool perhaps? Sorry have no suggestions for what’s good these days.

That's only valid if MSFS 2024 has been bought on the MS Store, that other location is valid for the Steam version.

I forgot to mention it is the Steam version. 
I am wondering if it is an issue with privilege/permission on windows. I am running Windows 11 LTSC.

So when I run the installer for any of the above mentioned programs it does not create an exe.xml file. 
 

I installed msfs 2024 in a different drive and moved the community folder to a different location which can be done thru the sim itself.
