QuiGon Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Can't you just decline the update? It usally asks if you want to update or not.

Rudel_chw Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 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 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
bartdude300 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 Ok thanks How do I edit the DCS shortcut 1.5 because when I click on the desktop icon it automatically updates ?

Gruman Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 The Shortcut on the desktop points towards setup.exe. Change the target to "...\bin\dcs.exe" and the updater won't be started.

bartdude300 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 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.

Kid18120 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 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 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850

Ramsay Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks but I havent downloaded it yet only the 1.5.8 exe file and as soon as I click on it then it automatically updates to 2.6 which I dont want arghhh its driving me nutts lol 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 details here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 or you can use SkateZilla's DCS Updater GUI Utility. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
