Installed wrong BS2

[tonym]

I have by mistake installed the wrong BS2 module into World. I downloaded and installed BS2, when it should have been the BS2 upgrade. Is there any way of uninstalling the BS2 without completely uninstalling World and the other modules such as A10C?

What a plonker!

I think you can just delete the Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50 folder.

 

Then re-install.

Navigate to your DCS World/Mods/aircrafts folder and open. Delete the Ka-50 folder and reinstall the correct one, alternatively just run the autoupdater and it will install it for you.

 

Edit: Norrised.

YES.

NO. It will return the same module back.

Oops - apologies for the misdirection :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Done as suggested, but it now won't accept the activation key for the BS2 upgrade version.I get the message " Unable to run due to integrity fault of Activation Key". I have checked the key is correct but can't get any further. Any more ideas welcome.

Deleting the Ka-50 registry key should solve this.

Thanks for further suggestion. Where can I find the Ka-50 registry key to delete?

open regedit and search for license

 

then delete both "license" entries under Black Shark 2 -> Keys

 

(I deleted both License0 entries and it worked!!)

Being away from the sim world for a while, I just downloaded DCSW and installing it as I write this. Question - I have BS2 Upgrade 1.2.1 which requires BS1 to be installed but World installation instructions clearly state to remove any DCS products. Do I have to install again BS1 or just the BS2 Upgrade 1.2.1? And would BS1 be of any use with DCSW? I highly doubt it..

 

PS. It's good to be back.

Good to have you back, Tito!

 

You need to install BS1 (and activate) to be able to install the BS2 upgrade, after that you can remove BS1.

Thanks ami7b5 for the suggestion. Unfortunately my screen doesn't look anything like yours, insofar as the "keys" doesn't show up anywhere. My files go Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS Black Shark2\ then Bazar,Config,Data, Doc,dxgui,FUI, etc. no sign of keys anywhere. Not being terribly pc literate I just don't know what to try next. Any help please.

Type 'regedit' in your start menu search bar. Navigate from there to find the entries as per the screenshot.

Thanks all! Now successfully reinstalled. Deleting the keys worked fine.
