Bms update question.

I have downloaded update 1 & 2 of 4.36. I have noticed that the version in the UI only shows the 4.36 installed version not the 2 updates. Can I remove the updates without having to do a complete uninstall and re-install?

If your install does not show U1 or U2 , then they are not installed, so no, you can’t “remove” them. What are you trying to accomplish? IIRC if you want to update you put the Falcon_BMS_4.36.1_Incremental.exe and Falcon_BMS_4.36.2_Incremental.exe into your x:\Falcon BMS 4.36 Setup folder, run them, then run “Setup.exe” to update BMS to 4.36.U2. All outlined here…

I have the same question. Since installing U2, all runs well for about a week. Then the sim will not load. I did a complete reinstall on the first event. Now I wish to uninstall U2 only as a trouble shooting measure. BTW the sim will not load either by using the native Launch window or by Alternative Launcher. So, the question remains, can this be done?
Many thanks.

You cannot uninstall an update…

@asw200 Reinstall 4.36.0 from scratch then between each update, make a copy of the C:\Falcon BMS 4.36 folder.

Each will consume about 18 GB.

Then you can launch any specific version directly eg. C:\Falcon BMS 4.36_U1\Bin\x64\Falcon BMS.exe

C:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Bin\x64\Falcon BMS.exe will always be latest/greatest.

Note this is not “supported” in any official way – eg. I don’t think tools like Alt Launcher will work with this arrangement.

It’s just what I do, to regression-test bugs from one update to the next.

@airtex2019 Tiny note on this method for those who may not know (as I’m sure airtex2019 is aware): it will only work on the same drive, due to root directory pointers in the Windows Registry. If our BMS is on the C:/ drive, we can copy BMS to that drive, but not to any other such as D:/ etc.

@SemlerPDX I actually did NOT know that, so thanks!
