Lets keep trial and error - how about adding a line in the VCRedist part with:

"IgnoreExitCode" "1"

Just guessing that could ignore the fact that it "fails"...

If that fails I could write a silly c++ program that returns a 0 as exit code that you could put in %INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\VCRedist\\vcredist_x86.exe Or by the way, why not just do a copy of the DirextX installer and call it "vcredist_x86.exe" in that folder... That way it will "think" it installs the C++ redist and it works

EDIT:

Wrote an amazing version of vcredist_x86.exe that will always work Download below, unpack the rar and put the file in %INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\VCRedist\\vcredist_x86.exe (and save the orignal before etc...). It's a dummy console c++ program that does nothing but return 0 (the exit code for "OK).

This is the code it runs (a default empty c++ project):

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}

Are there any plans to solve this? I didn't read anything about it.

I can't believe there is not a sticky saying do not install Windows 8 if you want to keep playing IL2 COD. Has one of the developers even commented on this issue in the forums?

The .NET Framework 4.5 is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4. By using the .NET Framework 4.5 together with the C#, Visual Basic, or F# programming language, you can write Windows apps. The .NET Framework 4.5 includes significant language and framework enhancements for C#, Visual Basic, and F# (so that you can more easily write asynchronous code), the blending of control flow in synchronous code, a responsive UI, and web app scalability . The .NET Framework 4.5 adds substantial improvements to other functional areas such as ASP.NET, Managed Extensibility Framework, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, and Windows Identity Foundation. The .NET Framework 4.5 delivers better performance, reliability, and security.

I found this on redirecting assembly versions
