ACSpectre Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 I have just tried to update to ver 2.8.0.32066 from 2.7.18.30765. I keep getting the following error after files are downloaded and are trying to be installed. It happens immediately. ERROR: Can't move G:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\Bazar/Liveries/S-300PS 5P85C ln/GRC_autumn/description.lua to G:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar/Liveries/S-300PS 5P85C ln/GRC_autumn/description.lua: (183) Cannot create a file when that file already exists. autoupdate_templog.txt

ACSpectre Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I have tried this. Deleted the _Downloads folder. Re-installed the update following a repair and the same error occurs. I don't really want to re-install the whole thing, as that takes forever and might give me the same result! If I click later when it prompts to update it gives the error: Can't run G:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Open Beta\bin/DCS.exe: (2) The system cannot find the file specified.

Rudel_chw Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Make sure the antivirus isnt interfering, add an exclusion for the g:/eagle dynamics/ path.

ACSpectre Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 I have checked, and only the DCS.exe was in the exception list. I have now added the updater to the list... I'll let you know how I get on.

ACSpectre Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Adjusted the whole path to the exclusion. Attempting update again! Following my attempt... It did not work. Exactly the same issue! Edited October 30, 2022 by ACSpectre

ACSpectre Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 I decided to uninstall and start anew! After it completed, I noticed some traces were still present! One of which was the S300 folder. Turns out I might have an SSD about to die! Trying a re-install to see if it all works! 2

Trying a re-install to see if it all works! interesting. it is possible that the the S300 folder was non-standard. i would imagine if the uninstall process, like a patch, sees non standard files, it leaves them alone. if not, clone that bad boy quick.
