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

[KG26_Alpha]

Hi

This worked for me as I have 2 installations Russian and English.

The English version would not launch at all after weeks of trying.

1. Uninstall CoD from add/remove programs, it opens up the Steam dialouge page to remove it from there.

2. Delete the softclub folder C:\Users\Your PC\Documents\1C SoftClub

3. Remove Steam (uninstall)

4. Delete the steam folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

5. I used a reg cleaner to remove any traces of Steam and CoD Reg Cleaner 4.3 by Jouni Vuorio

6. Reboot

7. Reinstall Steam > download CoD > run the launcher.exe see if it loads.
You should see a handshake going on with Steam this can fail a or get corrupted as was in my case, hence this procedure.

8. Make sure TS3 if not running with TS overlay this will stop the launcher.exe running in some cases, mine as well.

9. If all ok apply RC2 patch

10. Have fun
