As long as DCS_updater.exe is still there (in the bin folder), you repair/cleanup/update the game with this one.

 

Either try to use the relevant repair shortcut from ED folder in your Windows start menu shortucts, or follow the guide:

... and if it doesn't help, check if your antivirus software is not interfering with the process:
