Solved Issues Installing 4.35
-
I am trying to install 4.35, and every time I do, it says, "The registry entry points to a folder that does not contain a valid Falcon BMS 4.35 install. Please restore the missing files and try again or remove the registry entry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.35) to be able to install the product again. Path: C:\Falcon BMS 4.35\
I had BMS 4.35 installed previously but removed it because I understand that re installing it on an SSD (E drive rather than C) will improve performance.

Go to RegEdit (windows key, type regeditor, it should show up) in windows, look for (ctrl + F) “Falcon BMS 4.35” entry and remove that entry (right click it on the left side and choose delete on the menu , that should clean up your old install in Windows register.

@frankthetank361 you need to delete the previous entry from your registry
- hit Windows + R
- Type regedit
- Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.35
- delete the falcon BMS 4.35 Node by right mouse click and select delete
- Start BMs installation again

I have 4.35 working, but now I can’t get U1 (not to mention U2 and U3) working.

why are you trying to start part1.bsf? You need to run the exe file, not extract it (and point the installer to your 4.35 INSTALL FILES, NOT the bms installation itself). Sorry for shouting, but it’s a common error that happens all the time (you need to keep the BMS installer files around for subsequent updates).
Cheers, Uwe

I am trying to figure out where to go from this screen. The bottom window was opened before I moved the exe file to the top window.
-
Make sure you point the updater to the correct location of your BMS 4.35 setup files, NOT the bms installation itself. If you check the path in the top window you’ll see the dreaded multiple “Setup” directories that can cause a lot of trouble.
Cheers, Uwe
That’s the way your “data” folder should look like if you installed the updates correctly:
