Lupus4 Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Ok, I'm trying to Re-Install DCS. I keep getting installation errors. This time I got one that says "Failed to wait for parent process to exit" Any idea's or fixes for this? *Edit* Re-booted the PC, restarted the install update and got the following error: "Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name Ideas or fixes?

Flappie Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Hi @Lupus4. This error shows up when DCS_updater.exe cannot have access to the internet. I've seen this twice before: A user had a remnant of Avast antivirus blocking the DCS updater, Another user had to close his firewall and acivate his VPN. Are you using a VPN or Avast? ---
Lupus4 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) No, to both. I don't use a VPN nor do I use Avast. *edit* Thanks for mentioning the Virus Scanner. Disabling that during the install did it.

Flappie Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 It's not just Avast, then. Many thanks for your feedback, mate. ---
