When I try and rerun DCS and it wants to update I receive the following error window...

 

DCS Update 2.17.1.4

Can't move D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\autoupdate_log.txt ro D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\autoupdate_log_old.txt: (183) Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Clicking 'ok' then I'm greeted with...

Can't run D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin-mt/DCS.exe: (193) ? Error

That's a good indicator you don't have enough free space on your drive for the update to unpack before installing.  Likely need 200+ GB free for install.  Won't take that much more after it's finished installing, but you temporarily have a bunch of duplicate files during the install.

In past this was also a good indicator that your anti-virus is blocking things being moved/changed.

@72westy

Have a look here for a possible solution. 

Cheers!

Surely not. I have a 4TB drive d: and 2.39TB is still free

Not sure what occurred but I started DCS again and it was able to complete the update and start successfully.
