I'm trying to install TF patches on IL2 CloD and am having some troubles with the installer(s) - it crashes right after running it.
The weird thing here is.... I used to have TF patches happily running in my IL2 CloD!
Some 18 months ago I had a catastrophe with hardware in my system -motherboard and HDD went 'kaput'- and so I had to reformat OS all over again (no image backup, etc).
Obviously, this wasn't caused by IL2 CloD or TF patches by any means.
After getting the hardware replacement parts, I went with the same OS as before (Win7 64 Pro SP1).
The difference here is that the old system had an older version of Win7 64 Pro which had SP1 update added sometime later, along with every single Windows update existent untill the date of its "death".
For this new system the same OS was used but with SP1 already built-in, and I've decided not to go through the endless installation of Windows updates (when I had them installed I noticed impact in resources, plus slower system response).
So, for the current system, the only Windows 7 updates I have currently installed are:
- Corrections for MS Windows - KB2646060
- Corrections for MS Windows - KB2645594
- KB958488 (related with NETFramework 4, I think?)
- Corrections for MS Windows - KB976902
The system has been running like a clock ever since. No problems whatsoever so far, clean as a whistle.
All the games that were reinstalled run great - that also includes IL2 Clod in "vanilla" state (non modded), which is up-to-date and has been running just fine.
As said, the problem here is with installing the TF patches - the installer crashes right after running it. That crash is always followed by the following windows box:

I went ahead on my own trying a few things, see if I can go around this problem with the TF-patches installers.....
- Tried to run the TeamFusion installer(s) also "as administrator".
- Disabled Anti-Virus (Avast 2015)
- Checked the "Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation" and "Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation" boxes in the control panel for "enable/disable Windows Features".
- (Re)installed Microsoft .NET Framework
- version 1.1 (needed for some older audio-editor software)
- version 4.6.1 (which, as far as I know, is a cumulative package from NET 3.5 upto NET 4.6.1)
(NOTE: the "redist" folder in the Steam IL2 CloD folder has the .NET Framework 4 executable in it. I already have .NET Framework 4.6.1 so can't install it)
- (Re)installed Microsoft Visual C++
- versions 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 (x86 and x64, "All in One" installer)
- Disabled (Uninstalled) Windows7 Update KB2670838
- Enabled and Disabled Windows Media Center (trying both ways just in case, as I've seen some mentions that CLR20r3 errors could be related to it)
....but nothing seems to work. :-(
The installers (for any of the TF patches) still crash the same way.
They're also the only issue I recall having with anything I've tried to install in this newer system.
As said, the old system (which had the TF Patches installed) and the newer system are virtually the exact same thing (same hardware, OS, even the same programs/software and games are installed).
The only differences between them that I can think of are the graphics drivers (newer ones in the current system), a couple of new games installed, and the MS windows updates(?) that were not installed in the newer system.
......could the MS windows updates be it?
I do not wish to go through the bothersome task (and lottery results) of installing the MS windows updates.
Any other solutions or suggestions are very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
