utexgrad Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I'm trying to update to version 1.2.16.39472.729-424 (don't have the Steam version) from 1.2.15.37241 and the update program is not working. Prior to Windows 8 I was able to just launch DCS World and it would automatically check for updates. However, that functionality stopped after I installed Windows 8 so I just ran the updater.exe manually and all was well. But that method has also stopped working as of late. I have tried running DCS_Updater.exe out of the bin folder as an administrator but it just opens a dos window, closes it and then launches DCS world. The updater.exe is in my exceptions list so that shouldn't be causing any issues. If anyone could help me resolve this issue it would be much appreciated.

Lion13 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 For the DCS.exe file, Change the *properties *compatibility to Windows 8 and run it as adimistrator. --hope this helps Don't give me a P-38, The props they counter-rotate, They're battered and smitten from Burma to Britain.

utexgrad Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 Hey Guys, Appreciate the suggestions, but unfortunately they didn't resolve the situation. I'll keep messing with it and hopefully come up with the solution. Maybe there is a log file somewhere I can use to help me solve it.

BRAVO_16 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Change your computer date to the previous day, and then launch DCS. I had a similar issue once, and I changed the computer date. When I launched DCS the updater started automatically. Maintain thy airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee!
utexgrad Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Hey Bignewy, I've attached the log file zip.

SkateZilla Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) That was the ticket right there!!! Thank you very much!!! for future reference, the updster exe can become corrupted by virus scanner applications easily, as well as hardware issues (bad ram, hdd bad sector, etc). Mainly Virus scanners though, as they try to heal or remove the exe Edited July 2, 2015 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
