Your pinned post above shows the last released version as 1.8, released 3rd March.  However when I start PBE 1.8 it's prompting to update.  Having bought PBE from Aerosoft, they don't seem to have a later version for download other than 1.8.  I tried downloading and running the installer to update, but still get the same message.  If 1.8 is the latest, then is it necessary to uninstall before reinstalling?

Hi Stuart,

Latest is 1.8.

You probably didn't install properly or something.

Please cleanly uninstall the current version.

When you run the PBE installer, you'll see an info page in the installer's window.  Make sure it says V1.8.

Sometimes people run old installers even though they think it's the latest version installer.

Cheers,

Thanks, I'll uninstall and try again. Cheers

Well I uninstalled the PBE version that I previously had. Ran the installer that I had downloaded from Aerosoft, which did say 1.8 on the pop up info page at the beginning of the installation.  However, when attempting to run the program it still says that a mandatory update is available, and closes the application!   By the way, I am running the PBE exe for MSFS2020.

After uninstalling, does it leave any other reference files anywhere else, say in AppData?  The program didn't appear in the apps listing in Windows settings, so I ran the uninstall program that was in the PBE directory.

I'll have to help you via a remote desktop.

In the meantime, go the PBE folder, and run the EXE directly.  See what happens then.

I still think you're running an old version.
