Hi All,

Did a quick search but cannot see anything the same. Flew a mission Sunday night - all good. Went to start DCS last night - and got the below. Appears my DCS.Exe in my standard bin folder has disappeared.

Appears there is a DCS.exe in the bin-mt folder, but without an updater launching through to it. So I can either run the updater which doesn't launch DCS, or the .exe in the MT bin with no way of updating?

Any ideas/assistance would be of help? Thanks in advance.

Just copy the exe over. They're identical. When did you last update?
If the Updater is corrupted, you can download the latest one from the ED website, and then do a repair. That should get you all set.
Now, why did the exe disappear? Did your Anti-Virus solution snatch it?

Hi @MAXsenna thanks and good steer - found it in Norton quarantine (no bloody notifications from Norton though) - stating it is infected with an IDP generic virus? My last update was the latest drop on Xmas eve.

Oddly it had locked my standard bin from having any files dropped into it as 1st thing I though was to simply copy across, but now I have restored the original I can copy files into it no problems.

I am thinking latest Norton update may have caused some issues as have also been getting repeated warnings about Elite dangerous accessing my webcam...🤦‍♂️

 

Anyhoo - all done. Thanks.
