Unable to play due to update error

I just bought this game and once it is done installing it goes to update and then I get a FATAL ERROR "unable to open file for writing ./update.exe"
If this could be fixed that would be awesome as I would love to play this game.

 

Run as administrator? Do you have full permission to the BeamNG DRIVE folder?

 

Yeah I have full admin rights and have run it in admin mode and the error continues to come up.

 

Bump I would really like to play the game if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

 

Hi thanks for getting back to me but the error still persists I have downloaded it and unziped it into the install folder as suggested but the same error is coming up still.

 

Hi.
Update dont work in lan this open 80 TCP port.Write - not connect. Other port closed.

 

Same problem here. New file doesn't change anything. I run Win 7 64bit and chrome btw.

Excerpt from bug report:

09.08.2013 05:33:59.640|VERBO| JOB 000| started: update.exe
09.08.2013 05:33:59.640|ERROR| JOB 000| unable to open file for writing: update.exe : Permission denied
09.08.2013 05:34:01.650|ERROR| failed to download new updater

Running as admin does nothing.

 

I just got this error no less than 1 minute ago and I've not had the error at all since I've gotten BeamNG the morning of it's release.

 

No, but doing so doesn't change anything either.

 

Got the same problem just minutes ago, hope it's nothing serious.

Try to pause/disable you AV-Software while running the installer. Worked for me.

 

That did it. Thanks!

 

Look above.

 

This's an old thread, t-dev gave them the info they needed. please don't bump threads like this...

especially with a comment like "look above"
