Soulres Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 after the launcher cmd screen comes up (after clicking the .exe) it just closes and stays that way. I have gone 4 pages deeep in this section and have tried everything short of a clean install ( i dont want to download World and p51 again, took days.) Any ideas?
cichlidfan Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Are you actually 'double-clicking' the exe file (which one), or the shortcut on the desktop? Also, why on earth would you have deleted your downloads after installing? ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Soulres Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Are you actually 'double-clicking' the exe file (which one), or the shortcut on the desktop? Also, why on earth would you have deleted your downloads after installing? no i single click. cause single clicking activates half the launch sequence:huh:.(sarcasm) as for the sencond part. All of them. Desktop Multiplayer(singleplayer)DCS.exe DCS_updater and DCS_updater_apply Launcher.exe cause i dont want 10+ gigs of wasted space, and honestly its not even guaranteed to fix anything and probably mess up my registry (again) and seeing as how ide have to redownload a new client eveery month so i dont have to download a gig of patches. Not worth it. Edited May 10, 2013 by Soulres

Whether you installed the dx9redist and other C++ update / repair? win7 64bit. and latest c++ heres a hefty side node. in the me.log file theirs this. 00000.003 ALERT LAUNCHER: Error starting Mission editor: can't open '.\MissionEditor\MissionEditor.lua'
BadWeather Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 You need to use a shortcut to launch the program. If for some reason these were not created on the desktop when you installed, just create a new shortcut to dcs.exe or dcs_updater.exe. Then modify the properties of the shortcut and change the start-in path from X:\path\DCS World\bin to X:\path\DCS World . X and path point to the partition and path where the program resides on your computer.
