Unable to install

Many thanks for all the helpful information.
I found the Falcon 4.0 install exe eventually and installed it, the the Falcon BMS installer worked. I have to say I have never come across such a convoluted method of installation and it seems it doesn’t end there! I am now trying to install the updates and I have this message (see pic)
I do not have the downloader on my PC nor can I find it on the BMS website?They are in the downloads section of the website. Thats not convoluted.

Hmmm. I’m now close to giving up and returning to DCS…
I have run the sim, it loads to the initial screen but when I click on SETUP it exits to windows, no error message, just exits. -

I have run the sim, it loads to the initial screen but when I click on SETUP it exits to windows, no error message, just exits.Making threats to return to DCS is not a greatway to ask for help here.
-
Then perhaps I do not know what I am looking for? I have the updates but I need the updater updated! In the download section of the website I obviously see the updates but not the UPDATER? What am I missing?
-
Absolutely not a threat, simply resignation that perhaps BMS is not for me. The initial reason I looked into it is because many people reported that the latest version was indeed on a par with DCS so I was curious but so far no luck. As I said, it now exits to windows when I try and enter SETUP so I cannot configure controllers / resolution etc.
I am totally open to suggestions. -
@Ragnar-1 If you have the updates. Run them and install them.
-
@Ragnar-1 setup in launcher not setup. Did you read the user manual? If its CTD when clicking on setup you probably borked your install. It should not do that. Reinstall following user manual instructions
-
@Icarus
How is it possible to bork the install? -
And yes, I have read and followed the installation instructions…
-
I have now uninstalled the sim and I am re-installing it, I appreciate your help, I will post what happens next!

How is it possible to bork the install?IDK but you seem to have found a way. Setup does not ctd for anyone else.

@Icarus
Ok, so…
Uninstalled - no problem
Reinstalled - no problem
Updated the updater - no problem
Installed update 1 and 2 - no problem
Ran the program, clicked on SETUP and it exited to windows…PC Spec

@Ragnar-1 what does run the program mean. You started BMS and at launcher you clicked setup?
-
@Icarus
Yes, the program loads and runs without problem and I can enter Instant action but… SETUP crashes it. I have found the crash log and I will send it to technical support -
@Ragnar-1 What did you setup in the launcher?
You don’t mention anything about the launcher. -
I didn’t change anything in LAUNCHER so everything was default
-
@Ragnar-1 So why dont you set everything up in launcher? Then uncheck the override checked box if it is checked. Then leave setup in UI alone. Dont touch it.
-
@Icarus
OK, understood, I’ve done that.
So how do I change my screen resolution without going into SETUP? -
@Ragnar-1 You can’t. You need to find out whats wrong with your install that it crashes when you go to setup. It is not likely a BMS issue otherwise it would happen to many others.
-
Also it may not be a bad idea to confirm that at the bottom right hand corner of the UI screen in BMS says 4.37.2 to confirm the updates installed.
