lesthegrngo Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Not sure this counts as a game crash as I can't even get it started - for some reason the run.exe file has vanished. I have done the update cleanup and update repair processes, but still no run.exe file. Any help gratefully received Cheers Les
Eaglewings Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Check your anti-virus is not not tagging the exe as virus. If so you may have to add the exe or the whole folder to your exclusion list. Try turn off your anti-virus when update and later put the exe file in exclusion Edited June 30, 2020 by Eaglewings Windows 10 Pro 64bit|Ryzen 5600 @3.8Ghz|EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra|Corair vengence 32G DDR4 @3200mhz|MSI B550|Thrustmaster Flightstick| Virpil CM3 Throttle| Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedal /Samsung Odyssey Plus Headset
lesthegrngo Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 All I have is windows defender, and it was fine this morning. I shut down the PC so I could move the monitor and when I powered up again it was gone. Should I disable Defender? It has worked fine with it for the past two years Cheers for the help Les
Rudel_chw Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 ... Should I disable Defender? No need, just add the dcs folders to the exclusion list of your AV, for example on mine I have it like this: :thumbup: 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
lesthegrngo Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Cool - then run the cleanup and repair again? ***Edit*** Figured since there was nothing to lose I ran the two again (obviously after adding those to the exclusions) - still no run.exe file Cheers Les Edited June 30, 2020 by lesthegrngo
Eaglewings Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Weird, Normally after running repair, the exe file would be place back in your eagle dynamic/dcs world/bin folder. Did you check if dcs.exe file was put back in there? You would need to create a new shortcut of the exe file to your desktop.

lesthegrngo Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 Yep, the DCS.exe file is back in the bin folder - should there be a run.exe file as well? Cheers Les
Eaglewings Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Yep, the DCS.exe file is back in the bin folder - should there be a run.exe file as well? Cheers LesI cannot find run.exe in my dcs world folder. What version of dcs are you using? I have use the openbeta Have you tried running the dcs.exe or dcs_updater.exe in your bin folder after repair? Either of those two usually will run dcs world but dcs_updater.exe would check for update first and then load dcs world. You could open a technical support ticket on ED website for a better solution.

silverdevil Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 there is no run.exe in my BIN folder. by default there is no such thing as run.exe in a standard win 10 installation. there are however runas.exe, runonce.exe, runexehelper.exe, rundll32.exe. if run.exe is indeed referenced in an error you are seeing, it could be an unwanted program (malware). https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/run.exe-9916.html run a full scan with your AV software.

lesthegrngo Posted July 1, 2020 Author Posted July 1, 2020 Is it possible the run.exe was a legacy of an older installation that eventually was removed by an update? Cheers Les
Art-J Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 ^ Yes. I recall there was such a file in the old days. It's not there anymore (nor is it needed) when you install DCS nowadays from scratch, so it might have been removed by updater. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
