Unable to update to new version

[hrnet940]

Hi,

 

 

I just spent a few hours trying to update to yesterdays newest version and it was giving me warnings.

 

 

 

This is the window that pops up after I say to update later.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

Wayne

Missing information

I followed the cleanup and repair actions given by BIGNEWY and I still have issues. DCS will not update or even run if I tell it to update later. It gives me the attached thumbnail found above. What is my next step(s)?

 

 

Thanks,

Wayne

Did you check that the file is actually there (for which i'm certain it will not).

If not, do a search to locate DCS.exe and copy it back to the right folder.

If this doesn't work, then check that your anti-virus software didn't quarantine and moved it (it happens).

If this is the case, ask your anti-virus nicely to not do that the next time.

The file (DCS.exe) is there, but the icon looks different. See attached. I have been having issues with the last three or four updates.

 

 

Thanks,

The icon looks OK to me but your screenshot shows less files then i have.

Like: dcs_protect.dll, dcs_protect.exe, dcs.protect64.dll, dxgui.dll etc....

Thanks for the suggestion as it WAS the anti-virus software that is too good. I included the two folders for DCS in its list and all is good now. Sorry for posting this simple fix, but I have had issues in the past. Now on to flying the F-14 today and tomorrow. Great fun ahead.

 

 

Thanks Again,

Wayne

No need to feel sorry, things like these happen (and more and more when you get older...LOL).

Hi

 

this is usually antivirus related blocking DCS

 

please attach your autoupdater_log.txt from your dcs install.

 

if you have excluded the DCS_updater.exe in your antivirus and are still having problems let us know here or contact support directly

 

thank you

Thanks again BIGNEWY. As requested. It seems to be uploading it, but it doesn't appear in the Attach Files area when it should.

 

 

Thanks,

Wayne
