Installed, however I may not have things set-up properly. I would like to use the traffic explorer in SDK, but I can't seem to get it to display in the FSX toolbar. I entered the path statement in the Traffic Toolbox SDK dll file, I've double-checked to make sure I have the right path statement. I've had this problem but not sure how I solved it. This is directly from the Traffic Toolbos Setup instruction link in the downloaded file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
- <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

- <Launch.Addon>
<Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Path>SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


</SimBase.Document>

This is the path statement I created:

<Path>H:\Microsoft\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>

Am I missing something? Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it.

Now this could be the result of a text editor but you shouldn't have characters before the <SimBase.Document> and <Launch.Addon> lines. They are part of the code not comments.
Try removing those and retrying.

I don't know if it helps but this is my dll.xml file text, which works fine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
-<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="Launch">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
-<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>
