DCS Not Launching After Win Install

[rwbishUP]

I just had to reinstall Windows, and my root DCS install is on a secondary drive. After the Win 10 reinstall, I shored up my Nvidia driver and installed all of my other needed drivers. I tried to launch DCS, and keep getting this error. I can't include any log files, because it's not even creating a new "DCS" folder inside my saved games folder. I found another post with the problem, but it referred to amount of RAM and I have 64gb of RAM so I don't think that would be the problem.

Just in case, install the Visual C++ runtime, its on /DCS World/distr  ... run both executables (vc_redist.x64 and vcredist.x64)

Ok, I'll give that a shot, I'm running a full cleanup & repair right now. Thanks a ton @Rudel_chw, I'll report back with results here directly. Thank you again for the recommends!

That did the trick, @Rudel_chw. I did the cleanup, and when I came back and checked it, I didn't run the full repair so I could try your sugg first. After I ran the runtime files, it acted like it was going to hang, but it eventually loaded into the launcher, and from there on into the start screen. Thanks again for the help!
