1.2.7 Updater Issue: 64bit, 32bit, WTFrogfoot????

At first my issue started similar to GunghoGW's, where my updater keeps crapping staying in initialization phase while it updates itself. It happens after a fresh reinstall, which I keep doing hoping something new happens. I have to restart my computer to get anything to work properly since it effectively freezes my computer (can describe upon request). But I have a different issue altogether when it does start.

I am perfectly able to play DCS using launcher.exe, but i can't use the updater for this absolutely senseless, retarded reason that I cannot figure out what is wrong with.

I have totally up-to-date legit copy of Windows 7 64 bit. I honsely have no idea what to do. My directory is as follows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\updater.exe

I tried in Program files normal as well as x86, but it seems to not wish to work. I tried turning Malwarebytes and Bitdefender off (Bitdefender as much as I could, bdagent.exe cannot be disabled as part of the antivirus protection), but it stays immobile. I am absolutely certain because I checked the processes tab in Task manager, the two updater .exe's stayed at ~5000k and ~3000k physical memory usage for three hours. They didn't even change approx CPU usage. Only after reinstalling my game can I get the updater to even run.

The only thing I haven't tried is installing DirectX and visual C++ with the game, which i assumed i didn't have to do since I have those up to date as of now. Gonna try that and return to you guys, if anybody has a solution please post it.

EDIT: Nope, same problem. I am forced to restart windows after updater starts working and then stops (which I suspect has something to do with it, but I can't figure out how to get it to work in the first place, so.....).

This time, however, I got a rather amusing "This program is not responding" window labeled Microsoft Windows :doh:

Does anybody have any sort of answer? I can't turn bitdefender off all the way and I tried this with BD and Malwarebytes off with a reinstall count into the double digits now and quite possibly some grey hairs at age 18.

shut it down through services.msc, reboot and try again

Check your install dir. Something seems odd to me atleast x86program files??

I´m relative sure it IS youre installed Bitdefender and/or Malwarebytes:

The DCS_updater.exe already got corrupted and therefore you can`t update even if you have BD deactivated.

Good Eye Eagle. I believe swooped right down to the issue. IMHO that is.
