@VIPER-0 which OS?
those runtime library redists were always so stupid. it never made sense to allow or expect end users to manage the install/update/removal of something so utterly critical to the way all your code runs.
it was a different time, I suppose… when the idea of saving a couple dozen MB of download size, had some merit. that time ended way before 2015 tho. /rant
thanks for the clarification, what happened was in WINDOWS
And yes, it has rained a lot since the first VCREDIST, the world was another.
I already spread the word to all the wing pilots and they already have to install all the libraries from before Jesus Christ to even after.
Greetings.

Yes I assumed that I meant, which version of Windows? (Is this a Win7 problem?)

Verified repro, on a clean-box virt with Win10 Pro 22H2.
-
I’ll look into it to compile this tool with more recent libraries…
In the meantime, you have a workaround…
-
@MaxWaldorf any advice on the workaround? it seems to leave a BMS installation in a broken partially-updated state
is there some specific file we can delete or rename, that will allow the updater to re-run, after the runtime libs are installed?
-
@airtex2019 go in the registry and put the key:
curPatch back to 0…
This should help restarting the update process… -
@MaxWaldorf very nice!
Static link all runtime libs, ftw!
-
@airtex2019 To be honest, this tool is living its last days…
In 4.38, the 3DDB format will change… -
@MaxWaldorf
I had this issue today! Do I just install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and then reinstall 4.37 and U1… or wait for additional instructions? 4.37.1 is running but I currently have an incomplete installation of 4.37.1. -

(download and install both vc_redist.x64.exe and vc_redist.x86.exe)then run the following command (paste into Start / Run) to reset your failed update:
reg add "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.37" /f /v "curPatch" /d "0"
then re-run
\Falcon BMS 4.37\Updater.exe

Thanks, instructions followed and U1 installed.
