Help to get back to 2.8.8.43704

It is impossible to play 2.9 in a stable manner, I need help to rollback to 2.8. I try the command in the cmd, but it did not work.

What exact syntax did you use?
Or, get Skatezilla's GUI Updater/Launcher, and it's very easy to switch back and forth. No need to get the syntax correct. Just choose the version.

I use this in the command prompt. \DCS World OpenBeta\bin>DCS_updater.exe update 2.8.8.43704@openbeta and Skatezillaz GUI Updater/Launcher did not work.

1. Go into your game installation folder (note: not the user saves folder!)
   By default it is "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta" (or DCS World).
   It may be a different path for you if you changed the installation location, of if using Steam version.
    
2. Then go into the "BIN" folder. (note: not the "Bin MT" folder!)
    
3. Once in the "BIN" folder, create a new text file. (if you right mouse-click somewhere in the folder, the option will show)
   For the sake of practicality, just call this text file "REVERT_TO_2.8OB" (without the commas).
    
4. Now open this new text file (typically with Notepad) and then type (or copy/paste) the following:
   
   DCS_updater.exe update 2.8.8.43704@openbeta
    
5. Save and close.
   Now you need to change this text file extension, from "txt" to "bat".
   Of course, for this you must have the option in Windows to show file extensions.
   As to say, your new file should then be called "REVERT_TO_2.8OB.bat"
    
6. With the text command and the file extension changed to .bat, now all you need is to double-click on this new file ("REVERT_TO_2.8OB.bat" ).
   The process of reverting that 2.9OB installation into the last version of 2.8OB will start.
   Same as it happens with any DCS update, just in reverse in this case. 

Lastly, if you wish to experiment with different older versions (OpenBeta or Stable), you got their IDs on the left column of this page:

I see. Well, Skatezilla's app should've worked, and your syntax is identical to what @LucShep wrote, which means something else is going on.
Any errors in the Updater log? Enough free space?
