Need an opinion

I have downloaded and attempted to install 1.5 beta for the 3rd time (this last time I used the dcs torrent). Each time I got the same message, "This program is damaged, please repair or reinstall." However I have traced the problem to the "Run.exe" file in the DCS OpenBeta directory and the DCS.exe in the bin directory. initializing both of these files gives me a program is damaged massage. Does any of you think it would help to ask that those two files be emailed to me and then replace my damaged ones? If so, can someone email me the run.exe and the Dcs.exe files to <removed>

DirectX problem

 

Thanks Jcbak. However, my assumptions were wrong and the replaced files were identical to the ones I have, meaning, that did not solve my problem. I did further investigate the autoupdate log and found this sole error message: "ERROR: distr/DirectX/DXSETUP.exe failed with code -21." Perhaps that can give a clue to the problem. Keep in mind, DCS World 1.2 works flawlessly. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. By the way, I do have DirectX 11 installed and have never had a problem with it any games.

 

System: Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1 Build 7601, Intel® Corei7-2600 CPU 3.40GHz, 8 GB memory, Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

This is not a DirectX problem. DCS exe fails to validate its digital signature, so this is either a malware, or, ironically, an antivirus problem.

Deactivate your antivirus and try again.
