Chops Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I have searched the forums and the DCS website but have been unable to find information or a solution to the following problem. The install fails due to a lack of hard drive space, however, I can't find any information on the amount of space required for the 2.5.6 update. I have uninstalled several other programs in an attempt to create more hard drive space but the install still fails. How much hard drive space is required in order to install OB 2.5.6? What is the uninstall procedure for uninstalling OB DCS World and all of my modules? Does the OB download link on the DCS website contain the most current version of the Open Beta (2.5.6)? The link only says that it is 2.5. It would be helpful if the link was named with the full patch number. I am considering completely uninstalling DCS World and all of my modules and then doing a clean install of 2.5.6. Is this recommended? Thanks for any assistance. I have been unable to find answers to these questions.autoupdate_log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokehouse Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have the same error message trying to start the beta. I have only used 200gb out of 500gb. The next time I try to start it I get this message...... 00001.886 ERROR: Can't run C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin/DCS.exe: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. 00004.892 === Log closed. I have tried an unistall and reinstall, same thing. Any ideas?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Simple. Get more hard drive space by deleting some unwanted stuff, ot get your wallet out and buy a bigger SSD drive! :music_whistling: :music_whistling: :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokehouse Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I found that my Anti Virus (McCafee) and to some degree Windows Defender were the culprits. For both the errors listed above. I deleted McCafee, and turned off Defender, and purchased PCMatic. Now all issues have been resolved. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paganus Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I needed 48GB to patch. I have all maps and many modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teleblaster Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I’m getting the same problem only instead of Normandy it says Persian Gulf. I don’t even have that map currently installed although I have purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) RESOLVED:20-FEB-2020 2.5.6 Update fails: cannot delete WorldGeneral.dll I let DCS World Open Beta update to the latest patch of 2.5.6. The operation is not successful. There is an error message saying: "Can't delete K:=Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Open Beta\bin/WorldGeneral.dll". I'm a bit puzzled by the forward slash ("/") in the file path. Is that a bug in the update code? PS: I tried to delete the file myself but I cannot. It says it can only be deleted by a "predefined Admin". What the hell is that? Plus, now I get the message that it does not find DCS.exe I created a new local admin user and with that ID I could delete the "WorldGeneral.dll". Update successfully completed. What a hassle!
