Todays update issue

[Pinefang]

I've never had an update issue before today. The update stopped with error message can't run f:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs World openbeta\bin/dcs.exe because f:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world openbeta/bin\ dcs.exe already exists.

 

 

Then when I tried a second time I got Can't run F:\program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta \bin/dcs.exe: The system can't find the file specified.

 

 

Here is the log text:

The file is in my DCS folder as it always has been.

 

 

Can anyone help?

Hi

 

try a cleanup and repair

 

make sure your antivirus or security is not interfering with DCS

Hey Bignewy thanks for the solution. Not sure why I didn't think of running a repair. Again, thanks a lot. By the way I spent 3 years a RAF Woodbridge, near Ipswich and had a great time.
