zero Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Found the exe in bin. Since the error reads - no access - I unticked the write protected box. Did not help. Trying to to start DCS . Selecting update "later" box, DCS cannot find exe file. Selecting "update now" the update runs for a few seconds, and stops with same error. Is it a way to uninstall and still keep the module keys? Really bad experience when my PC crashed and I had to replace motherboard with components. Installing DCS was no problem, but getting back modules I paid for was extremely difficult.

Did not help. why it was ticked in the first place? … the windows default is write protect clear. Maybe you have enabled the write protection at the folder (E:\DCS World OpenBeta) level?

Maybe you have enabled the write protection at the folder (E:\DCS World OpenBeta) level? No - I never touch stuff like this. I did not know that exe is hidden in bin. I am a plug and play guy. If it works, do not fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdevil Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The modules are tied to your ED account so this should not be a problem.
