BoS wont launch after clean OS install - Windows 10

[Gambit21]

Just rebuilt my system and "upgraded" to Windows 10...yikes, give me Windows 7 back.

 

Anyway, the game will no longer launch, either from it's original location or when dragged to my C drive.

I get a .dll error. I was under the impression that BoS could be dragged around as easily as RoF.

 

Any help appreciated.

Most likely 3rd party stuff not installed, I'd think.

 

 

3) Can I make a copy of the game folder and move it to another PC?
Yes, it can be done. After the game is installed:
- copy the entire IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad folder and paste it where you want it
- install all necessary 3rd party software from ...\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\updater\3rd_party\
- start the game using ...\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game\Il-2.exe, or Launcher.exe files

Thanks Andy, I'd seen that but didn't get the "3rd party" since when I copied the link it simply took me to the il2 webpage.

I'll give it another whirl.

I got it working, my error.

For some dumb reason I kept reading the "Sturmovik/data/updater/3rd party as something that was on the site, even though it clearly indicates the file path.

Just a bonehead brain freeze on my part.

I was thinking is that possible? I read what you said here and went on to the link and copied the file direction  on the webadress........   I think it must be instinct....
