GDFInstall.exe crashes at launch (dual boot XP/Win 7)

Thanks for the responses guys....but I'd already tried those things with no luck (and just did again, without getting my hopes up).

I've been trying to fly this dang sim for a long time now....

Is the installation finalizing when you launch it for the first time, you might see a .net distribution package run (iirc) as it talks to Steam after a complete reinstall ?

If this process fails it will never seem launch whatever you do.
But....
Some have had success reinstalling the distribution packages in the Steam folder, and you might want to update your .net 4 installation.

Close steam.

Go into Program files/steam: And delete ClientRegistry.blob

Restart steam - game should run

It took a fresh OS install....

Yes, I was finally able to launch CLoD after I did a fresh Win 7 Install.
