Moxica Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I have both vanilla and beta on my PC. Now I can/want to remove one of them. Do I just delete? Do I use some uninstall function? Which one should I keep?

ED Team Solution BIGNEWY Posted February 24 ED Team Solution Share Posted February 24 you can just delete or use the uninstaller in the root of the instal If you have stable and open beta currently, keep stable and remove open beta. make sure you backup your inputs and anything you want from the saved games DCS.openbeta folder as you may want to move them to the saved games DCS folder. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

sthompson Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Depending on how you installed in the first place you may have a registry key pointing to the installations. If you delete one you should delete that registry key as well. My recollection is that it is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics. Some add on software looks there to find your installations. 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

Moxica Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) Thanks, but but there is no "Eagle Dynamics" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software in my registry. I'm doing backups an removing as per BigNewy's advice.

If you reinstalled Windows or copied DCS from another system then those keys won't be present. They aren't needed by DCS itself as nearly as I can tell. But programs like VAICOM PRO look for them to find your DCS installation. 1 I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

Makes sense; I got a New PC, and just put the old drive into the new one, and the copied installation to an M2 drive. -And now that Beta is gone, what to do with all that extra space? :P Edited February 25 by Moxica ASUS ROG Strix B550-E GAMING - PNY GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X - 64Gb RAM - 2x2Tb M2 - Win11 - HP Reverb g2 - Oculus Quest 2 - Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS - Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder - 2X Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
