Launcher Lost

[TheSNAFU]

Somehow I accidentally deleted launcher exe. Anyone know a way to get it without reinstalling the entire game? Non Steam version Help is most appreciated!

Isn´t there a "launcher.exe" in your IL2...\bin\game folder? I thing that will bring it back (I hope)

Launcher.exe in the bin folder is what I accidently deleted. Is there some other executable that will restore it or can I get it somewhere from their website or elsewhere?

FlyingH, thanks for being the lone pilot willing to try and help. I solved the matter based on something I found on the net. There is a backup exe called Launcher.exe.exe. In the bin games folder where the original launcher was. Just change the name to launcher.exe and run it. The exe will analyze the game files and extract files and afterward you should be good. I would back up the data folder to ensure you don’t lose settings etc.

Glad I made some help! I only looked for the exe and when today checking my bin\game folder I found a "Launcher.exe.backup" dating 8 days before the actual "Launcher.exe"!

Yep I misspoke. It’s launcher.exe backup. Change the name to launcher.exe and launcher will be restored
