Make sure you have installed the redist programs needed for Il2 BoB to run (DirectX, VC 2008 controls, DotNetFx 4.0 - they can all be found in IL2 BoB's install folder/redist), and that you actually rebooted your computer after installing them.

S!

Also and oldie: run as Admin the installers of any program.

Same problem here - "Launcher has stopped working" immediately I try to launch.

I don't have great specs but I expected to be able to launch the game at least;

Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33 GHz
4MB RAM
ATi 4870 (latest drivers)
Vista Home Premium

I've tried re-installing everything as suggested above

Disappointed.

Success! Thanks for posting that above.

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

So, I'm now in slideshow heaven, but it works!

Im having same problem:
Launcher is crashing. Game installed and activated without problem.
But when trying to run it, the launcher crashes.
All other games (including steam-games) works fine.

I have installed from a DVD, but also tried to DL the whole thing from STEAM.

I have reinstalled DirectX from the \redist folder.

(((FIXED: Problem I cannot reinstall the VCRedist (vcredist_x86.exe) for some reason.
Also DL that from Microsoft. Its "trying to use a network resource that is unavailable"...that its pointing to a path where "vc_red.msi" is supposed to be, but is not. Cannot find vc_red.msi anywhere on my PC.
No idea if this is why the launcher fails though...)))

I had the same problem. Turned out that AVG thought that the game was a virus. Disabling AVG worked for me.

Im using AVast antivirus.
Have turned OFF all shields etc. Still same problem.
No way to turn it completely off afaik....Right clicking on taskbar - no turn off option.

Uninstalled AV...still same problem!
Sigh...

Deadstick you are a champion. All these other fools that just want to bag out the ones having trouble and you stepped up to the mark with excellent advise. As you as I did what you suggested it worked. Thank you heaps mate.
Now I only have to work out how to activate my pedals and get the joystick part of my x52 to work and I'm off. Thanks again mate.

It was good advice, especially since there was nothing coming from official channels, and since it is clearly a problem many users are experiencing.

Unfortunately it didn't work for lots of other people.

Time for 1C/Steam to step up to the plate, I think.
