Thanks in advance for any help.Just move the complete Eagle Dynamics folder and update the path in shortcuts. Do a full repair. That's it.Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
metalrockerlion62 Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 I have just moved all the files into a new SSD drive "E" I copy all files from the c program via cut and paste unto the new drive, I don't mess with the shortcut on the desktop But copy that Short cut the drive of the SSD drive I want to DCS go too. After that. I open properties and at the first opening of the location you will see the old path of C:\Program file\EagleDynamics\DCS _world\Updater.exe. That needs to change For example "E:\Eagle Dynamics \Dcs world|\bin\Updater.exe that will be the top box of the dialogue the lower box needs this E:\Eagle Dynamics\Dcs world I used the EXE on the desk top of World bete but Dcs World should only Say DCS world not open beta
Django Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Does this method work if moving the DCS installation to a new system or must I run the installer again?

Flappie Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 A copy-paste works just fine. Simply add this extra step: once the copy is over, run a DCS repair in "slow" mode. 1 ---
Senchay Posted February 26 Posted February 26 (edited) Hello. Did someone try this recently? I think i have an issue with this. I had DCS on F, but 500 GB was not enough. Now i got a 1TB SSD, moved the files over there, changed the paths for the desktop icons and the sim runs. That is not the issue. I also ran the repair (full). But whenever i update, i can see its trying to fetch the file list from F (old location). Its updating to G but it still requires the stuff on F, as it seems. How can one change the path internally for the updater index? DCS 2.9.x Win 11 Edited February 26 by Senchay
