Weird that it finds FSX, but no dll.xml file.
As you said, dll.xml is supposed to live in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
 
If you have a dll.xml file there, you need to add the following lines:
 
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>XMLTools</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
    <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
    <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
  </Launch.Addon>
 
Then everything should work.
