No Falcon BMS registry entry found
-
I had to refresh my win8.1 and am trying to get everything back up.
When I click on the Falcon BMS Icon to start the game, I get the following message“No Falcon BMS registry entry found”
I noticed in my drive that all the files are there. So what does this message mean and how to I fix this.
I hope I don’t have to reinstall BMS as I have my HOTAS config to changes made in the key settings.

Re install Falcon.
Rename the existing installed folder (Falcon BMS 4.32old), Install a fresh copy to the same location as the original.
Once that is done rename the new copy (Falcon BMS 4.32new) and then change the original (Falcon BMS 4.32old) back to its default folder name.
PS make a saved copy of your “config” folder some where.

Re install Falcon.
Rename the existing installed folder (Falcon BMS 4.32old), Install a fresh copy to the same location as the original.
Once that is done rename the new copy (Falcon BMS 4.32new) and then change the original (Falcon BMS 4.32old) back to its default folder name.
PS make a saved copy of your “config” folder some where.
Thanks Shadow,
What about some of the extras I had, like Tom’s hi-tiles, upgraded clouds and what-not.
Does re-downloading the falcon BMS just put the required code in my computer, so when I change the original Falcon BMS from old to “reg”, all my pervious downloads and settings will be back? -
Yes, should be.
Basically you’re re-installing BMS to create the registry entry. Then you make the new install “new”(which invalidates it) and rename your “old” install back to Falcon BMS 4.32 and it’s the validated BMS install.

Thanks Guys,
One last question (I hope).
Do I need to install the full installer Falcon BMS 4.32 Setup BASE plus U1-U7.rar or can I just install Falcon_BMS_4.32_Setup (the most earliest and plain version of BMS)? -
To be fully updated, yes, install the Base and U1-U7. It doesn’t take much longer to do the 7 updates, they are small in comparison to the base install.
