Steam Huey Key

[Wynthorpe]

Hello,

 

I have a Steam HUEY key that ive added to steam and got my CD key for standalone, now i go to download the module from ED and i get the message 'Cant install into newer DCS, please use DCS Huey 1.2.6.18933 installer'. Now i can't find the newer installer anywhere, how do i install this please?

 

Thanks

Have you tried using the Module Manager?

Yeah all that gives me is an option to buy.

Its the installer for the stand alone module that's not compatible with the stand alone, its actually nothing to do with the Steam version, misleading title really.

Do this:

 

Press start, and in the Run/search field type "cmd" and press enter.

 

Navigate to the installation directory, for example like this:

 

CD PROGRAM FILES\EAGLE DYNAMICS\DCS WORLD\BIN\

Press enter

 

(Note, if you installed DCS World somewhere else, change accordingly)

 

Then type:

DCS_Updater.exe update 1.2.6.18651 (or whichever version it is you have an installer for)

 

When complete, run your installer.

 

Once installed, run DCS world as per normal.

 

New versions get up on autoupdate quicker than installer, since installers have to be built and tested manually.

Worked a treat thank you.

Excellent. Sorry for the inconvenience; it is the recurring conundrum of whether to halt deployment through autoupdater until installers are tested to ensure a uniform deployment, which at first glance looks attractive, but also means that everyone ends up having to wait longer than desired for something that they could theoretically already have on their machines.

Yeah its a hard decision, although the whole process was very simple once i know what to do with your help.
