williehayesjr Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I downloaded and install 2.5 (took hours). It installed a startup icon on my desktop. After double-clicking the icon, I get the "Do you want this app to make changes to your device" message. I click yes; I get nothing. I then right click on the icon and go to "Open file location" and click on the updater icon, again nothing (when I say nothing I mean it acts as though it is loading, for a few seconds then everything goes away). I then back out of the "bin" directory, into the "DCSWorld openBeta" directory and click on "Run.exe" and still nothing. I reboot my machine and go through the same procedures, and again nothing. What am I doing wrong?
RePhil Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I am in same boat but it opens but I cant open anything from main screen and can close it.

Art-J Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 ^ Ditto. Repair and removal / renaming SavedGames/DCS folder for a start. Much faster than reinstalling everything, and usually enough to fix most of the issues. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

williehayesjr Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Sorry it took me so long to get back, but I solved the problem on a hunch. I went back into the "open file location" from the 2.5 icon on the desktop, and clicked on DCS.exe, four files above the updater.exe Icon (I guessed this file because it was an exe). However, the file looks quasi-ghosted out and I thought it would never execute. I then followed the login instructions and voila, it loaded. Thanks anyway for your quick attention. I love this site, at lease 99% of the time---smile. One more thing; I sent that file to my desktop as this is the only way I can get the program to load up. Edited February 1, 2018 by williehayesjr
