Issue solved: for game update / installation the Korea to be executed as Administrator; for playing not required

 

Hello,

I have installed Korea end of june and did some short tests and it worked.

After 4 weeks not at my PC I tried it last week and the shown message appeared.

This weekend I de-installed Korea and tried to install 2 times but after the Korea_IL2Series_Installer.exe did the short "basic installation"  and I suppose tried to prepare the download of the program files it stuck after ca. 1 minute with the exact same message. My internet connection is in general reliable.

Is this issue known and a solution available?

Maybe the solution is to start Korea with right mouse / as Administrator?

With this at least the download of the program data has started...
