Using DCS_updater to Avoid Re-Downloading DCS for New Windows Install


Recommended Posts

Posted

I unexpectedly had to reinstall Windows 11 this evening. I've got my full DCS install on another drive and I was hoping there's a way to use DCS_updater to reinstall DCS without needing to wipe and re-download. I tried using "DCS_updater update" and "DCS_updater repair" but DCS is not in the list of installed apps. Can anyone offer a way to do this without wiping and starting again?

You need to run "DCS_updater repair" from an Admin command prompt, while located on the DCS\bin folder, like this:

Thanks very much, I'll try this as soon as I can. Apologies for the delay in replying, had complications with the reinstall.
