Can't install 4.32, file access denied and stuck on verifying integrity…
-
I recently decided to start playing Falcon BMS 4.32 after seeing some Youtube videos. I’ve installed and can run without issues Falcon 4.0, but when I try to install 4.32, after selecting either the original install or the disk (I’ve tried both) and a place to install 4.32 (I’ve tried on both my HD with windows and my second one), it comes up with ‘File access denied’ before trying to verify the integrity of downloaded files, which it gets stuck on. I’ve left it for hours but it never finishes. I’ve got the .exes for the updates 1 - 6, run them to get the file and copied them to the data folder in the 4.32 setup. Can anyone help me with this, because this game looks amazing, as I already enjoy flight simulators such as DCS World and FSX, so I was looking forward to playing this.

use the combined 1-6 installer and update 7 instead.
you might have better luck with those. it kinda sounds just like file corruption to me. download combined 1-6 and then seven, run 7 and point at 1-6, then run 1-6 setup.exe and report the results of that and your exact steps, if it fails after that then something else is up. we’ll look at write permissions and stuff then.
1-6 installer https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?15666-Falcon-BMS-4-32-Full-Installer-(Base-plus-U1-U6)
update 7 https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?16681-Falcon-BMS-4-32-Update-7
it also sounds like it could be file permissions. make sure your user has write permissions and that the folder you are trying to install to is not read only. you might want to check the installer’s permissions as well as check any antivirus or whatever you’re running; they could be messing it up.

This happens when the files are Read Only. Select the Install folder, right click -> Properties, the uncheck Read only for all files and sub folders. Then run setup again.

Thanks for the help, I managed to get it installed, but now I get ‘Falcon BMS has stopped working’ as soon as I run the program. A black square appears in the top left corner of the monitor for a few moments then the message appears. I ran falcon 4.0 just before running the updater setup and it was fine.

Uninstall BMS and uninstall Falcon4,
then clean BMS and Falcon4 related registry entries (if any).Then follow this install procedure, (… supplemented with U5-U7)

Nevermind, I fixed the problem by forgetting to do something I should have done a lot earlier: restarting my pc… I feel like an idiot. Anyway, thanks for all the help, I still wouldn’t have managed to install the game if it wasn’t for the help I got here!
