Probably your anti-virus blocking something.  Check it hasn't quarantined it.

This might also be permissions. You might need to delete the file manually from the File Explorer. Had this 1 time myself.

Also check that you have fee space to update.

Hi, 

this is usually due to antivirus real time scans creating a problem. Usually if you reboot the pc and try the update again it works. 

The update will always keep what you have already downloaded, so if you restart the update it checks what you have and finishes the update.

let us know

Hi all, hi Bignewy ,

could not solve the problem. I rebooted and  started DCS again  several times ( only possible from the path in explorer) ,  but  always the same error.

I have no extra virusprogram.. only defender of WIN 11. 

 in short.. I formated the Partition of DCS and installed game from scratch.  In spring I had many  problems with the upgraded F 5 model - very low fps- and therefore I killed the installation.

Before the new installation of DCS  I upgraded my PC    

From Intel  7 8700 k and 32 GB RAM , nvidia 4090    to   an   AMD  5  6700 3 D and 64 GB RAM  and of course new board. 

Jump from 45 fps to 95 fps  !!  in a restored scenery (quality up to max now )  with the Phantom F 4 on Syriamap, which are both very demanding. I was very suprised.

 

In the end I am happy.  I and my squadron ER * ...   enjoy DCS.
