Help! Can't install DW!?!

Stewy1 · 12-15-16, 10:30 AM

G'day guys,

I picked up Il-2 Stalingrad and Ultimate Edition cheap as a Christmas present to myself - but now DW won't open! Clicking the icon does nothing...is it like a Direct X thing or something?

I removed Il-2 Ultimate Edition (DW worked fine with S'grad installed) - and uninstalled DW - but now the DW install disk has 'install' greyed out and I can't click 'install'

Please help me if you can - starting to worry I may have ruined my DW playing days!!!

Well, I got DW (and RA) installed, boys - but now I have two more problems...

Firstly, the annoying Windows 8 "Are you sure you want to?" permission pop-up happens when I start the program

Second, the RA title screen appears for a second - then the program ends with "DW has stopped working"...

Please help if you can

Looks like I've got it stable again guys - had to delete all the DW files, install, patch to 1.04, then install RA- and it seems to be working again...

I'll see if my database tweaks have stuck - that's the next problem..
