DCS Won't start after Win 10 1803 Update

[Bonz]

I had the standard version of DCS... Was obviously unable to update to Newest Open Beta version with PG map. Also I needed to Update Windows 10 to 1803. Performed the Windows update first... That complete, I began downloading and installing a complete version of the Open Beta version of DCS... successfully completed. I opened the program and it showed I needed to "reload" all my modules and Included the PG map in that list. I clicked OK to begin the reinstallation of my modules (All) and the new installation of the PG map. It seemed to go OK and after this finished, I logged in restarting the program. About a minute into the install DCS stopped. and nothing further happened. I stopped the process using Task Manager and tried again. The same thing happened. I observed the whole process using Process Lasso. What is causing this....?

2018-05-24 13:56:55.171 ERROR WorldPlugIns: Can't load plugin module AV8B_CPT.dll

 

try removing the AV-8B using the module manager

 

run a cleanup and repair

 

then add the AV-8B again

 

let us know if it helps

[Bonz]

I would but I can't get in? Is there another way of removing it, if you can't start the game?

 

I went in the main folder and under MODS/Aircraft moved the AV-8B out to my desktop... Now the game starts... and on the Main Menu Page the Module Manager is indicating that I have one module to download... However, It doesn't show me what it is and so I can't download it?

So How do I get that Module back and still run the game?

 

Whoops, forgot to run cleanup and repair... just did that … Rat's now it won't load again!

[Bonz]

the cleanup process reloaded the AV-8B... and now DCS won't start again.

[Bonz]

Changed the AV-8B folder name to BAK-xxx and the game started... however, now I tried to enter mission editor with a new mission using the PG map and the game froze about 2-3 second later and had to restart... actually killed with Task Manager.

[Bonz]

If I uninstall Can I delete the old Folder? or does the reload use some files from that old install?

[Bonz]

Total reload of DCS and still no Start with AV-8B included but with difference

 

This time I loaded PG map first restarted worked fine. Then loaded AV-8B and restarted, worked fine. Then reloaded everything else and now won't start again... I'm including the log hoping for help.

Another total reload of DCS... I loaded PG map, started DCS... it started. Loaded AV-8B, no start. Same log file as before... it seems the problem file is the AV8B_CPT.dll file located in Mods/aircraft/AV8BNA\bin\AV8B_CPT.dll.crypt. Two things … Why are some slants facing backwards and some forward? Never noticed that before... Is that normal? and What's in that file, can I just delete it or will I make things worse... Can you send me a clean copy of that folder? Will that work?... Maybe the directory would be better... Although that doesn't make much sense since I've already reloaded DCS twice maybe something is contaminating the file? Help

Ticket # 75322 - DCS Won't load with AV-8B Module included.

I did ask DCS for help and they told me to contact RAZBAM... since they don't support third party products... Even though I purchased every product the DCS runs.

Same here. Won't start after Win 10 1803 Update, even i didn't installed any modules.

Here is the log
