    Just thought I would post this.

    I used the updater in the launcher to update from 156 to 198. Immediately after the update tried to open the launcher again and recieved the error "\\rFactor2\Launch rFactor.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

    I have updated this way before with no problems.

    I assume my only option now is a fresh install.

    Correct.. Especially when ISI wrote to do a clean install as the upgrade feature was touch and go.
    From this build on, they said it will be working again properly though.

    It`s funny that it seems to have worked ok for some and not for others...

    This was the first build I used the update feature and it worked perfectly for me and downloaded/installed etc very quickly.

    When tested, everything seemed to working fine.

    I`ve since uninstalled and installed a fresh, full build of b198 but the update feature worked fine as I say...

    Yeah I know tjc, I was actually searching the forum where I read it so I can post it up again about the clean install..

    Personally I preferred the full clean and install.. This build (198) looks a lot better in the structure sense, and the server is running things properly again, so updates from this build on should be much much better I feel.

    I'm a bit confused,I have rfactor 2 if the updater doesn't work I will have to download lite or simple version of b198 and a fresh install will "hurt" my mods?
