Hi gents,

 

I have a 1.0.2 version of BS1 installed which I have run for a couple of minutes in a couple of different missions. This was a DVD copy of the game.

 

I am trying to install the BS2 upgrade 1.1.1.1 (KA-50_full_en_bsupd_1.1.1.1), but each time I do so i get a message saying "DCS Black Shark must be installed"

 

My BS1 game resides on my E drive not my C drive. I am also opperating Windows7 32 bit.

 

Any suggestions on what I need to do to get BS2 installed? I downloaded the 4 installer files on the 9th January.

 

thanks in advance

I have run the game long enough to fly for a couple of minutes in a couple of the missions plus a quick fly during the start of a campaign. I can't recall when I entered the game activation code, but it wouldn't let me start a mission / campaign without doing this would it?

 

I installed the game when my system was running XP. Perhaps the problem has come about as my PC is now running on W7, and although I used the Windows file export / import feature when changing from XP to W7, perhaps it hasn't copied all the registry entries.

 

Maybe I need to deactivate the game, uninstall it and reinstall and reactivate it?

EDIT: reread post

 

If you made other hardware changes along with the OS upgrade that could put you over the limit.

 

From the quick start guide:

An activation will be required if the hardware/software changes exceed 12 points as
