zhukov01 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I bought the full version rather than the upgrade of BS2 because I saw all the problems people were having trying to get an upgraded version of BS1 to BS2 to play with DCS World (I know its not insurmountable but I like a simple life). I own BS1 but haven't had installed since I rebuilt my system so it doesn't exist in any form on my PC. I have three physical disks, 2 SSDs and 1 HDD. I have DCS World and A10c installed on my SSD G: Drive at G:\Games\DCS World. I installed DCS World and then A10c and the two integrated no problem. I cannot get BS2 to install to and to play with DCS World. Either it doesn't know DCS World exists or the other way around. Seeing that A10c appears under the Mods folder in DCS World on my G Drive I thought I'd install BS2 there. No luck, BS2 works well enough (except there are no training missions for some reason) but it may as well be on a different machine as it doesn't integrate in any way with DCS World. Why doesn't DCS World come with an installer for its modules :mad: ? What am I doing wrong? How can I get BS2 and DCS World to work together? Where should I be installing BS2. I don't install any games (or DCS World) within Windows Programs Folders becuase Windows is a bitch and UAC is a SOAB.
KillaALF Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Did you install the standalone version or the module for World found here? 1

zhukov01 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 OK next problem. I found and downloaded the module version of BS2 (via the link) but I can't get it to install. I get an error saying "The version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running". I'm running Win7 64. Why am I getting this error? Are there multiple versions of the module? Learning a ramp start was easier than this.
Yurgon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I get an error saying "The version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running". I'm running Win7 64. Why am I getting this error? That version should be compatible with Win7 64 Bit. Sounds like corrupt installer. Can you check the MD5 hash? digestIT 2004 is a useful tool for the job. If the hash it generates for the file you downloaded doesn't match the one given on the download page, the download is corrupt and you should just re-download (possibly from another mirror, or use BitTorrent right away, it already includes error detection). Oh, and make sure you install as administrator (Right click, "Run as administrator"). 1
