I copied the "modules" folder into the Main FSX Folder, then did the same for the "sim objects" folder. then after trying the automatic install without success. I then tried the manual install, and it still didn't work.

Well, you say that you first moved the folders to the FSX folder. That's a manual install.
In the FSX\modules\ folder, you then have a CumulusX\ folder, right ?
Do you have a reference to CumulusX stuff both in the EXE.xml and the DLL.xml files (those files are in the same folder than your FSX.cfg file) ?

Does the EXE.xml have to be a xml file to work. Because for me it's still a txt file :-?
