The installation error

There is not a specific error. It only says that the exe.xml file is corrupted and shows the folder where the file is.

Hey @joseluisortegac

Yep, your exe.xml file is corrupt. There are several issues:

  1. The initial <SimBase.Document> line is missing.
  2. It's missing a <Launch.Addon> line for the first addon entry.
  3. There is a stray extra </Launch.Addon> closing line after the IVAO entries.

So you'll want to replace it with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
<SimBase.Document>
  <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>IVAO Pilot Client</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>        <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\IVAO\PilotCore\pilot_core_fs2020.exe</Path>
        <Commandline />
    </Launch.Addon>
    <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>IVAO Pilot Client</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>        <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\IVAO\PilotCore\pilot_core_fs2020.exe</Path>
        <Commandline />
    </Launch.Addon>
    <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>IVAO Pilot Client</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>        <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\IVAO\PilotCore\pilot_core_fs2020.exe</Path>
        <Commandline />
    </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>AFCBridge</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>    <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\community\AFC_Bridge\bin\AFC_Bridge.exe</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

However, it looks like 'IVAO Pilot Client' has put itself in that file three times (and may have caused the corruption) so you might want to reduce some of those duplicate entries down to just:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
<SimBase.Document>
    <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>IVAO Pilot Client</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>        <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\IVAO\PilotCore\pilot_core_fs2020.exe</Path>
        <Commandline />
    </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>AFCBridge</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>    <Path>C:\Users\orteg\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\community\AFC_Bridge\bin\AFC_Bridge.exe</Path>
   </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

So you can see there that we have a <SimBase.Document> at the start, and a closing </SimBase.Document> at the end, and each addon entry has a <Launch.Addon> at the start, and a closing </Launch.Addon> at its end.

Hope that helps?

Hi Royston,

I do really appreciate your support. I tried to do it by myself but without success. I hope I can install now the addon to use the Bravo Throttle Quadrant lights.

Kindest regards,

José Luis Ortega
