Mr_sukebe Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) I'm getting an error message whilst trying to add the hotfix 2 for 1.5.8, basically saying that it's trying to delete the file wwii_protect.exe, but can't, because it's being used by the UI. Any thoughts? Clearly infers that something else is locking the file in question. I've tried a reboot of my PC, such that nothing is running, but am still getting the same. More details below: Error message: "can't delete DCSworld Openbeta\mods/tech/wwii units/wwii_protect.exe (32) The process cannot access the file because it's being used by another process.

Mr_sukebe Posted December 15, 2017 Author Posted December 15, 2017 OK, got to the bottom of it. If you have a look in any of the Bin folders within the Mods section, there are the same type of "protection.exe" files. I assume they're to prevent user hacking, so they're a good thing. Looks like one of the exe's stayed open from my earlier game using 2.2. When I'd closed 2.2 and tried to update 1.5.8, that exe prevented changes. To resolve, just required a windows reboot, which cleared the running processes. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
