missing distworldrez.exe?

[rong]

After applying patch 1.9.5.7, I encountered the following error when attempting to start DWU.
I reinstalled the whole program once but after I apply the patch again, this time with 1.9.5.9, the same error showed.

Please help.

Maybe some security software steals it, or something?

Happened to me once. My AV quarantined it. I had to get it out of quarantine it and make the .exe an exception, because it kept quarantining it. I got no warning from my AV that it did this. This may not be the problem, but it's worth checking.

There are 2 files which may be missing that are contained within the original DW install (not the DWU install). If you cant find the files, try reinstalling the original DW - there will be 2 files called disworldrez.exe and 1 other.

You could simply copy them over and see if it works.
