updater problems

[Jamovich]

hi,

 

When updating DCS world I get the following error:

 

ERROR: Can't move f:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\_downloads\Mods/aircraft/P-51D/bin/p51_protect.exe to f:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods/aircraft/P-51D/bin/p51_protect.exe: (183) Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

 

This is causing update problems

 

How do I fix it?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

delete the _downloads folder here

 

f:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\_downloads

 

make sure DCS is running with administration permissions in windows

 

run a cleanup and repair

 

and then update

 

let us know how you get on

Mr. Bignewy,

 

Please explain activation. If I make a major change in my system and de-activate all my modules before the change, and then activate after the change.....do I lose activation's on all the modules? I thought by deactivating first, you would not lose the activations.

 

Thanks, Laz

No, you will lose 1 deactivation for every module.

So, I have a new system and want to change around a number of items...Video cards, cpu, memory, ssd to M2 and then to 3D XPoint, use 3 monitors then just use a 50"4k, then use my Oculus Rift....to test different configurations on DCS to get the best performance. So each time I will lose activation's ? Each module....I will run out.....I know ED updates one activation a month.......for each module?

Hi

 

A guide for activation's can be found in your doc folder
