Need installation help

@Cloud:
This is correct, as long as they are in the originally created setup folder with the base Setup you’re good to go. The Setup will install everything, i.e., all updates contained within.

He doesn’t have them in the setup folder. There in a folder above. And I have never seen this behavior before.
As per https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?28573-Falcon-BMS-4-33-U2-Incremental-Installer
Step-by-step details:
(1) The pre-requirement for installing the update is to have the original BMS 4.33 U1 Setup folder available. That is the one with the blue colored Setup.exe. Take a note on the folder name where this exe is. This folder is NOT your actual game folder that you use to start BMS itself. It’s the folder wherever you downloaded and extracted the original BMS 4.33 U1 base installer.
(2) Note: You need the original BMS 4.33 U1 Setup folder, as U2 is incremental only (like all BMS updates).
(3) Next, RUN (do not unzip) the U2 installer. It will ask you where the BMS setup folder is. Select the folder that you have identified in the 1st step.
(4) After the U2 installer has finished, it will call the actual Setup.exe that you have identified in the 1st step. Now you can either perform a fresh new installation, or update your existing U1 installation by choosing ‘Manage product updates’. U2 will now be shown in addition to the 4.33 U1 base installation.
(5) Once the U2 installer has been run once, the original Falcon BMS 4.33 U1 Setup folder will contain the additional U2 data permanently (unless you delete the Setup folder, of course).
And Tass my Name is Shadow not “this guy” but you can refer to me as Sir.
PS: Trying to do the one upmanship by advising methods of install that are contrary to the official BMS method makes you no friend to the “new” guys having problems with their installs. You create confusion.
Ram22 I don’t know what your problem with me is, lately you seem to be on my case, but get over it. -
Shadow, I said that they went into the folder above when i corrected myself from an earlier post. This is what i said
Don’t put the updates in the same folder as the set up.exe as your picture shows, That’s my fault for not explaining it correctly in my earlier post. Put them in the Falcon_BMS_4.33_U1_Setup Root folder so it looks like this….
Falcon_BMS_4.33_U1_Setup
Falcon_BMS_4.33_U2_Incremental
Falcon_BMS_4.33_U3_Incrementalnow run set-up…it will see the updates.
This is exactly what the video showed…Not trying to confuse you bro…trying to help you out and make it easier thats all!!

Tass I’m not confused.
I have never seen that functionality spoken off before. And I never have “Falcon_BMS_4.33_U1_Setup/Falcon BMS 4.33 u1 Setup/” extracted, just x:/Falcon BMS 4.33 u1 Setup/
I usually test anything I,m not 100% on before I post but with this new Win7 on Razen install I’m having troubles getting F4.0 installed so I couldn’t check.
But as far as New people are concerned I still think the BMS “documented” should always be the primary method we point them to.

Well look, neither way is the wrong way…they both accomplish the same objective of getting the Sim installed and getting you in the air!!! :drink:

Actually I just tried your method and had no success. Setup found no updates.
Even tried running setup again after Base was installed.
I noticed your video is no longer available.

Have you actually tried it ?

Shadow, This is gonna sound like a stupid question, But i’ve been known to ask stupid questions before soooo, Are you trying to install 4.33…or 4.33_U1? Because there’s no reason that i can think of why the installer wouldn’t recognize, verify & install the updates other then you may be trying to install the older version of BMS which is 4.33. I mean the video i put up is how i install BMS whenever i have to reinstall, And it works every time. As a matter of fact…the video i posted WAS me reinstalling. I uninstalled BMS so i could show you the method.
-
Your right it was a stupid question , but one I would usually ask.
Are you using Win 10, and might this be the reason. Though I doubt it.
It does not work on this install of Win7+SP1
-
Well i only asked because i did it…lmao Yes, im on Win 10 64 bit…And it could very well be the reason, but im not the one to ask about what works on different versions of Windows, Hopefully someone else reads this who has more knowledge about that…Sorry Shadow
-
No need to be sorry on my account.
But I still prefer to point new people to the “Official” install & patch method.
