Solved ERROR MESSAGE→Falcon BMS Updater 1.3 Setup
-
Good day,
I am a new BMS user here.
PC rebuild on a
New Asus ROG STRIX B-550 F Gaming wifi II motherboard
New AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU
Old NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super GPU
32 GB RAM
Two by one TB NVMe M.2 SSDs
Fresh Windows 11 install and all drives empty except for Steam with DCS, and some other Steam games.
Steam Version of Falcon 4.0 installed
Falcon-BMS 4.37 installed
When I run Falcon BMS Updater 1.3 Setup, I get the following error message:
“Installation Aborted
Setup was not completed successfully.
Your 3DDB does not exist or is corrupted. Cancelling Update!”What suggestions does anyone have to solve this issue?
-
@The737Honcho Seems like you’ve tried to install before and it did not complete successfully?
You should have a file called Falcon BMS_4.37.3_Full_Setup.exe which will install 4.37.3 for you then check for updates and it will find a further 2 mini updates so you should end up with version 4.37.3.2
-
@The737Honcho not entirely sure but on super-clean new PCs there have been problems with missing MS VC runtimes.
download and install the x86 and x64 ones, from here
you’ll probably need to delete/uninstall BMS and start again
-
@airtex2019 thank you, I will try this later today
-
You have to start Falcon 4.0 once without BMS. Then with BMS and it should work.

Yes, that was the case regarding my new setup I got this past June. Somehow figured it out.
-
@SoBad I will try a few things and let you all know how it goes.

@Atlas Uninstalling and reinstalling BMS worked for my issue.

I’ve never had to do this.

Glad that sorted it! Welcome to BMS!

@Atlas Thank you! I finally have a computer able to run Falcon-BMS. I had been looking forward to sim-flying on Falcon-BMS for a long time. I am studying the training documents now. There is so much to learn here.
