Can't you just decline the update? It usally asks if you want to update or not.

You can edit the DCS shortcut, so that instead of pointing to update.exe it points to dcs.exe .. that way you can run the updater only when you want to

The Shortcut on the desktop points towards setup.exe. Change the target to "...\bin\dcs.exe" and the updater won't be started.

Tried to change the target in the DCS WORLD 1.5 properties but get This "The name C:\Program files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 1.5\bin\dcs.exe Specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure that the path and file name are correct"

Just go to "X:\whateverPath\DCS World\bin" and right click DCS.exe and select "copy", then right click and "paste shortcut" on your desktop or where you want to put it

The 2.6.16 DCS_Updater.exe is likely the version you want, (IIRC the current version is 2.9.6).

 

The install command line/shortcut will be something like

 

• [install Path]\DCSWorld_1_5_6\bin\DCS_updater.exe update 1.5.6.5199@release

 

or

 

• [install Path]\DCSWorld_1_5_8\bin\DCS_updater.exe update 1.5.8.13716@openbeta

or you can use SkateZilla's DCS Updater GUI Utility.
