Ammathos Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) :helpsmilie:Ok, so you know how DCS world had an update, I went to install the next update but then i got this "insert disk 1" stuff. long story short I went from post to post, looking at the wiki and all that, i renamed the files, reinstalled the files 5 times :mad: and it was still not working. Then as I was about to give up, I looked and it turned out that the .bin files were opening with an emulator that I had a while back. so now I would like to know what the .bin files SHOULD be opening with, as I think that will help my problem that I have.:helpsmilie: Also, I went and got rid of the emulator and reinstalled the files and they still wanted to open with the emulator. :doh: (total download time of over 25 hours, a new record for me) Edited October 18, 2012 by Ammathos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfootMSR Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The .bin files should not be opening except by the .exe file that you downloaded. Download the 3 .bin files for world and the .exe file, put them into their own folder and then run the .exe It should work.

Revelation Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 that is what i did in the first place but i keep getting that insert disk 1 stuff What is the current installed version of DCS? Are you still running v1.1.1.1 of DCS A-10C? Did you download DCS World V1.2.x and the modules then run the auto-updater?

EtherealN Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 "Disk 1 stuff" indicates that the installer can't find the .bin files. Install procedure is to download exe and bin files into one and the same folder, then run the exe file. You do not need to touch or "open" the bin files. The names of the bin files are important - if they get renamed, the installer won't be able to find them and you'll get this error.
