... standalone version can not update , i try to use powershell and update icon in start menu,all is useless ...

 

Don't use Powershell, use the regular Command prompt, like this:

 

 

For the Command prompt icon, I use this target (it starts the command prompt, but on the folder of my choosing):

 

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k pushd "G:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Openbeta\Bin"

 

Replace G:\Progra... with the path of your own DCS.

 

Then, to update I open this shortcut and type the command: "DCS_Updater Update"

You can find the current version numbers here.

It looks like you are running the stable version and want to get an update that's for the open beta.

Seems that you are on the stable release, and on that version the 2.5.5.39384 is indeed the latest. My DCS is the Openbeta release, and on that one the latest version is 2.5.5.40269. So, you are OK and have to wait a bit until ED updates the Stable release, probably on next week.

Note that the update utility parameter is case sensitive. "update" will work - "Update" will not.
