The installation error

The 'SimBase.Document' start tag on line 2 position 2 does not match the end tag of 'Launch.Addon'. Line 26, position 5.

Hi @ronprice46

I've not seen that particular fault before. Thankfully it's fairly easy to fix.

Just before the 'FenixA320' section there seems to be a missing start <Launch.Addon> tag. That's very interesting, and suggests there's a problem with the Fenix A320 code which modifies this file. I'll keep an eye on that.

(The technical detail: your file basically contains 3 addons, FSUIPC7, BBL and A320. Each addon should start with <Launch.Addon> and end with </Launch.Addon>. The start <Launch.Addon> for the Fenix section is missing.)

So, your whole file should look like this:

<?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>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Name>FSUIPC7</Name>
    <Path>C:\FSUIPC7\FSUIPC7.exe</Path>
    <CommandLine>-auto</CommandLine>
    <NewConsole>False</NewConsole>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>BravoLights</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>C:\Users\RONPR\Desktop\BetterBravoLights_JRpUI\Program\BetterBravoLights.exe</Path>
    <CommandLine>/startedbysimulator</CommandLine>
    <NewConsole>False</NewConsole>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>FenixA320</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>C:\Program Files\FenixSim A320\deps\FenixBootstrapper.exe</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Try that, and let me know how you get on?

Did it work after you applied my previous suggested content? (Before you installed Couatl?)

The content you've posted looks fine, but I've seen other situations where somebody's exe.xml file looks fine but none of the programs start up.

So, do any of the programs start up with MSFS? This can sometimes be difficult to detect: if programs are still running in the background since the last launch of MSFS, they won't start up with MSFS because they're already running.

none start up
