OK, think I will try that in the next two days and if all fails go for support to cash back. After all I need a new OS in 2013, only can't go for it atm. Thanks and sorry for flodding the thread. Guess that wasn't my last post. :D Wish I had known about OS in the beginning.

Yes, but my concern is rather that DCS will not work anyway because as my bud sobek suggested, DCS World tends to have issues with 32 Bit systems. So I will rather not go for a OS change (I am perfectly safe reg. security) unless there is a good chance DCS world and FC 3 will run. My system ain't bad, only the RAM amount and OS suck. Also upgrade in sight reg. GFX. Chrs

OK then chaps: I will not bitch around this at the BMS forums or so as I could have seen this coming myself.:thumbup: Will try that. And if it fails go for support and ask kindly to get my cash back. And point to this thread, should explain it. Argh nevertheless.:D Chrs Tom

Could you specify what new license means in effect, please? I can go with trying SP 3 since I reinstall and also upgrade next year anyway, but TBH more installation stunts could be more than I am willing to do atm. Go for SP 3-ok, reinstall DCS World and FC 3-ok-search another day for Microsoft fora help-not so ok. In that case I'd rather either store my current installer or search for an alternate fix for my issue..aka support. Chrs Tom

Well, until I upgrade to Win 7, 3 GB. Chrs Tom

Nicey! Seems incompatible install anyway it since I use XP SP2. And I definately will not go for SP 3, rather Win 7-but not this month. http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=5555 Glad I am...not!

Sorry, no joy. Same message. Only exception, now I got a 2nd message before it appeared telling me to visit Microsoft homepage for installing blabla (did not take a screen) software to be able to install Microsoft Visul C++ redisctrib. etc. I already have the 2005 and 2008 versions. :mad::helpsmilie:

OK sobek, I completely uninstalled DCS World and got the above shown message again beforehand. Anyway, now got the files and man do I look forward to take a spin in a Mig-29 again, not to speak of the entire reason I came here, the F-15C.

OK thanks!:thumbup: Will redownload the Torrent version this time, uninstall DCS World and reinstall. If it still does not work, I will come back to this thread. Look forward to bust through the unfriendly skies again. Let's hope for the best..I'm way more patient when it comes to testing compared to installations.:joystick: Tom

I skipped the part that related to Microsoft VisualC++ redistribuatble. TBH I recall(ed) the necissity to install these files in relation to my AMD card and was afraid the new installation might pork it. :music_whistling: Thanks, sobek..so you mean I should reinstall and also install those files? T.

Ah, PS: During first download and also atm, as I try to re-download DCS world, I got the following message upon chosing an alternate download server after another failed for the final segment: First, form to put in password etc and then this message: 503: Login incorrect. Argh. So far this was really not easy.

Good day guys! Following issues, please advise: Ran Lock On vs 1 from CD. Tried to register as per default Ubi Soft registration schedule after installtion, was told I was not connected to the internet. I was..:) OK, ignored it and kept going with installing DCS world from DCS download section. Installed DCS world, got this error message: (German) "Could not start application because MSVCP100.dII was not found. New installtion of the application could solve the problem." Then I purchased, downloaded and tried to install Flaming Cliffs 3 Beta: Same issue, after assumingly installing some files, the installer told me the exact same thing. Please give me a heads up, I also downloaded the file mentioned here... http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Troubleshooting:FC3:Installer So far no idea how to proceed. Chrs Tom

One question: First post here, hello! I just installed my old copy (CD) of LockOn. Tried to register that one via the default install registry option before downloading the pre-release version of FC 3. Told me I am not connected to the internet, which I was. Would that be a good basis for a later install bug of FC 3 of a similar kind? Thanks a lot. Tom
