SixDegreesOfFlight Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Hi, I updated DCS to the latest version and it removed an old alpha install. However, it has installed the newest version on the desktop. Is there an process to move it onto another drive and folder? Thank you!
awjudge Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Do you mean it's put the shortcut for DCS on your desktop, or it's installed the whole thing to your desktop? Usually a version upgrade will just overwrite wherever the game was already installed...

mkiii Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Seems an odd thing to happen, but that doesn't help his situation. Try this thread:- https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211982
SixDegreesOfFlight Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Thank you. I am in the process of moving it now to D: I will let you know how it goes Thanks for your help
SixDegreesOfFlight Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 It's working now. I moved everything over to D:/DCS but it complained about a missing exe. I downloaded the updater and ran it under an admin cmd prompt and did a repair. It downloaded about 160MB via torrent and reported it was successfully repaired to 2.5.4.27430. Thank you!
SixDegreesOfFlight Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) After getting it working it had a problem installing modules - it would crash as soon as I selected one of my purchases to install. So I disconnected my Vive and... I went go into the \bin folder. Left Shift and right click and "Open Command window here." In Powershell, I entered cmd DCS_updater.exe cleanup DCS_updater.exe repair Now it is installing properly. I hope this helps someone else Edited March 15, 2019 by SixDegreesOfFlight added the VR info
