CMO-Tacview link not working in Win7 - READ HERE

Post by Dimitris »

If you have 64-bit Windows 7, please download and install this: https://download.microsoft.com/download ... 43-x64.msu

If you have 32-bit Windows 7, please download and install this: https://download.microsoft.com/download ... 43-x86.msu

If it asks you to reboot after installation, please do so.

Then give it a try.

We will absorb this into the installer, but first we want to get this fixed on problematic installations ASAP.

This fix is specifically for Windows 7. If you are having a problem with Windows 10 please open a new thread at the Tech Support forum. Thanks!

Hi, why can you not install this update?

When I try to install it, the windows update searches my system for updates and after a few seconds I get the message that the update is not applicable to my computer.
I want to mention that I apply the updates manually because I have no internet access on that system.Nevertheless, I don't think I've missed any critical updates.

I am sorry, but in this case I don't see how we can help you. We can compensate for many handicaps, but "OS not updated" is not one of them.

You need to somehow get Powershell 3.0 installed on your Windows environment.

Dimitris, thank you for the quick reply.I had already installed WMF 5.1.That's the reason I couldn't install version 3.0.But it seems that the problem isn't there.I get the message "Invalid Tacview exe" when I click "3DVIEW".Probably this happens because I've the trial version and haven't bought the advanced one yet.I thought the trial version would work for 21 days but maybe I'm wrong.

That sounds like a dodgy copy of Tacview.

Can you post your copy of Tacview (the exe only) here?

What do you mean by "dodgy"?I've downloaded it from the official site,no steam.
I tried uploading the .exe but I get error message waiting for the confirmation.Maybe the reason is the size of the .zip file(11.7 MB)?

I have the same problem. I have reinstalled the game several times, but every time the situation repeats. Matrix version, files downloaded from the official website.
I have attached the tacviev file for review.

Hi,

When you say "the same problem", what EXACTLY do you mean? Not being pedantic, but several different issues are being dogpiled in this thread already.

I apologize for the too laconic post. It's about a situation when I try to run while playing Tacview. I get the message "Invalid Tacview exe" when I click "3DVIEW".

Have you tried with the v1.01 update? We tweaked the file check so it should no longer throw this error in Win7 if you use the valid Tacview.exe file.

The error still persists.I don't have a clear picture as what is the reason because the trial period expired before the update.I've also noticed that when I run TACVIEW (separately) it says "tacview starter".
