Flappie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Hey @Hawkeye60 Here's the issue: 00012.470 ERROR: Can't delete E:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-AI.dll: (5) Access is denied. 00012.470 INFO : Sleeping for 0.100000 seconds... 00012.569 ERROR: Can't delete E:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-AI.dll: (5) Access is denied. 00018.329 STATUS: Got CANCEL when asked to retry: Can't delete E:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-AI.dll: (5) Access is denied. 00018.546 STATUS: Can't delete E:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-AI.dll: (5) Access is denied. When the DCS updater complains about a DLL file not being accessible, it's very often due to the antivirus which is blocking the file. Two solutions: either disable your antivirus during updates (but that's ugly and you know it), or add these folders as exceptions in your antivirus: E:\DCS World OpenBeta C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta Edited February 17, 2021 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Hawkeye60 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Good idea. Did not work. I use malware-bites. Disabled. Windows security, disabled. Windows firewall, disabled. Very same error. DCS loads fine. I need to cancel to proceed. The last thing to try is the VPN but that should not cause this. Never had this issue before. Even last up-date worked, with all protections enabled. Thanks anyway. "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

Flappie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 That's weird. But hey, there are tools to learn who's blocking the DLLs. Launch Windows Resource monitor (resmon) Click the CPU tab Click the search field in the "Associated Handles" section and type in: F14-AI.dll Launch the DCS updater and keep looking at Resource monitor. You should find which app is blocking the DLL. 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye60 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks again! But I decided to go a different way..... I deleted the offending folder! No more files for the up-dater to delete! Up-date finished without errors! I just log out of windows, then log back in to allow the delete to take place. (DCS holds on to the folder, till this is done) FYI More than one way to skin a possum! Cheers! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.
