The 7b error is usually a file misplacement mashup involving a 64bit file being placed into a 32bit folder or vica-versa.

 

You could try obtaining and runnning a small app named Dependency Walker to identify the misplaced file

And you meet the minimum requirements of Win 7/8 64-bit only and 8GB of RAM?

Installed as Admin and the included MS VC and DX packages?

Install into C:\GAMES and not Program Files.

 

 

Why do you recommend installing the program to C:\GAMES? I've seen that before and wondered what it does for the sim.

C:\ Program Files has file protection built into it, which was first introduced in Vista, then improved and carried over to Windows_7. Administrator privileges are required (mostly) to modify files contain within.

 

Running an app "As Administrator", places what you're running into protected space (its own separate memory space)

With Windows Vista, User Account Control was introduced which (by default) requires explicit elevation of your privileges to use your administrator "rights" on any kind of resource (file, registry ...) which requires administrative privileges. Without elevation, you are limited to basic user privileges, which only allow read access to the Program Files directory (in case of the default DACL), even if your user account is a member of the local Administrators security group. This is a security feature.

In Windows XP (and older) your administrator privileges are always active and hence you have write access to the Program Files directory. This also means that everything which runs in your Windows session has administrator privileges ...

When you create a folder under C:\, it will have a different access control list than the (default) one of C:\Program Files. Specifically, you will have write access to folders created directly under C:\, even with a non-administrator account.

 

The only times when administrator privileges are required with DCS World is during installation/update/repair. In these cases the installer/updater will prompt for elevation of privileges, so this isn't an issue. Just click Yes (or enter administrator credentials when running as a basic user).

If you want to modify the files in the DCS World installation folder (e.g. for tweaking/modding), you can modify the access control list to give yourself write access, which would be the same as installing it under C:\Games.

 

Thus, running DCS World as administrator isn't required.

I've often mentioned to "give the Root Folder full permissions", in other posts before... quite simply; C:\ Program Files (on Vista/ 7/ 8 ) is protected - install to a folder outside of the program files for an easier time of things

 

 

 

The 7b error usually comes up as something mismatched, filewise, between the 64bit and 32 bit system folder, with the culprit likely being one of those pesky msvcr (?) dll thingies. Try to obtain and run an app named Dependency Walker for further clues
