Fixing files is way beyond my tech skills.

Where is your better bravo lights installed?

That's a very odd looking exe.xml file. I've never seen one like it. Normally they have <Launch.Addon> sections but yours only has <SimConnect.Comm> sections specifying port information but nothing about addons.

It's also a valid XML file which wouldn't give the reported error, reports itself as SimConnect.xml (see the filename on line 2) rather than exe.xml, so I suspect you may have sent the wrong file?

(Compare with the exe.xml file reported at https://github.com/RoystonS/BetterBravoLights/issues/69, which correctly has <Filename>exe.xml</Filename>.)

Install defaulted to this. Hope it helps.

When BBL starts up and tells you that the exe.xml file is corrupt, it should offer to raise a bug report here for you, and it should automatically fill in all the details, including all the correct exe.xml file contents. Did it not do that?

Do you have a file C:\Users\jdrew\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\exe.xml ? That's the one that BBL needs to get fixed. I think you've sent the contents of C:\Users\jdrew\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimConnect.xml ?
