After placing the files in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder you must execute (run) "CloDer.exe" (DO NOT run the game from Steam, this will not work [it bypasses the fix]).
Another Method (as broken pixel was trying to explain).
Extract the archive ("CloDer_v0.0.0.1.7z" or "CloDer_v0.0.0.1.zip") to a new folder on your PC (I'll use "C:\Downloads\CloDer\").
Go to the folder where you extracted the files (in my case "C:\Downloads\CloDer\"), locate and run the file "CloDer.exe".
Unlike the first scenario (above), "CloDer.exe" won't find "Launcher.exe" (therefore can't run it automatically) and will ask you to locate it (the "Open File" dialog will pop up), simply use the dialog to locate "Launcher.exe" in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.
*Note: Steam must be running (in the background) in order to play the game.
Hope you get it running.

Your fix works very well, thank you. I have extracted files in IL2 folder (not the original one under Steam, but a copy in c:\Program Files (x86)). Just a remark :
I must execute cloder.exe in administrator mode, otherwise nothing happens, is it due to the fact that I work with a copied directory?
I have also a problem when trying to play a mission created by mission builder, but it may be a quite different problem
