Issue with DCS server

[markturner1960]

Hi, i recently updated my DCS server instal, had not used it in a while. I now have issues with it updating, or running the update checker and also starting if I simply go to the DCS.exe in bin folder. 

If I use the updater, it errors saying it cant find DCS.exe (2) 

If I click diretc on the DCS.exe, then it gets a sfar as the new "15 years of DCS" splashscreen, then after about 10 seconds stops, without generating an error message etc.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

In that order, try the following things:

1. Download the updater .zip from this page (link below), extract it to your "./DCS World.../bin" folder and accept overwriting.
2. Now, try to update DCS once more.
3. If it fails, run a DCS cleanup and repair.
4. Still no joy? Then please attach your autoupdate_log.txt file from "./DCS World.../".

Hi Flappie, thx, tried, that, no joy. I downloaded and ran the updater clean up and repair batch files from your link from the main DCS server folder. Still have the same issue. attached requested log file.

Is your server a non-dedicated one? If so, please read this:

Hi, I have 2 PC's, one is my main PC, with my jets sim pit on it, the other is my old PC, which I have set up as my Helo sim pit PC. 

I installed DCS server on the older number 2 PC, initially to try running DCS liberation on it to offload work from the main PC. I have had DCS server installed and working on the number 2 PC alongside the normal DCS installation for several months. This just started happening after I updated to the last big update.
