ShuRugal Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I am unable to apply the latest update, Every time i try, i get "file is in use by another program" I am able to move, or even delete, the named file by hand with no errors about other programs trying to use it, so the message is incorrect. If i do this, the update proceeds to the next file, for which it throws the same error. "file XXXXXXX is used by another program" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Open task manager and make sure there is no process called dcs updater running. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuRugal Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 right, i think i figured it out. firewall was running in "game mode", which was automatically disallowing installers to run properly. Unfortunately, i only discovered this after uninstaling World when the 1.2.5 installer refused to run with "access denied" on launch.... should be good once the reinstall is done. what a PITA... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
