2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10 - It does, check the thread!
So I thought I'd download, patch and give this ago again after many years.
Problem is the game does not even run on Windows 10.
No errors when trying to run from the menu, in fact nothing happens at all. When you try to execute any of the exe's in the game I always get this.
Any work around or is JTCS dead now an no longer works on modern systems running Windows 10?
Also, of note I am running on a 4k monitor maybe the code is so old it just does not like windows 10 nor 4k monitors?

RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
The event log shows this:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\West Front\west front.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Any ideas on how to fix that?

I'll be installing the game on my new windows 10 machine, I'll let you know what steps I did to get it running. (Hopefully)
RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
It plays fine on my W10 machine, no problems. However I installed it a few years ago...

Well, my install process was as follows.
Download and unzip this:
JohnTillerCampaignSeries-SetupRelease-V1DR.exe
Run the executable.
Download and unzip this:
JohnTillerCampaignSeries-UpdateDR-v202.exe
Run the executable.
After that, I launched the game with no issues.

RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
Side by side error is often resolved by installing the MSVC++ 2008 redistributable again.
see HERE:
Most likely, you don't have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, available here:
x86 (32 bit)
x64 (64 bit)
Make sure you get the right version for your system architecture (32 vs. 64 bit)!

RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
Thanks, well what I did was as follows.
Downloaded from Matrix the two files (the latest installer and 2.02 update) and installed the game and then the patch. Tried to launch the game and no-go. Then I downloaded the 64-bit 2008 C++ redistribute installed that and again no-go!
Game does not work on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
I don't understand how you can get the game to work while it does nothing on my machine. (When clicking WF/EF/RS etc., nor from their own exe's), nothing happens, nada, zilch.
Strange, since I have GG WitE/WitW, Decisive Campaigns (all three of them), TOAW IV, Steel Panthers WW2/MBT, Warplan, World in Flames, Panzer Korps, and some older games like DG CWIE2 installed and running with no issues.
So for me it just seems that JTCS no longer works on Windows 10 64-bit Pro.
Stumped.

This is my system, so yes, it does. Just have to figure out why it isn't working with your installation.

Do you have multiple drives?
If so, try installing it on a secondary drive.
I installed it in E:/games/jtcs, for example.

Jason,
I only have 1 drive. I installed it in:
C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series

For giggles, try to install it in:
C:\games\John Tiller's Campaign Series
Don't forget to make sure your 2.02 UPDATE gets installed in THAT location

I am also assuming you installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
Jason,
So essentially delete it and then reinstall in games...ect.?
I do believe so, its called: vcredist_x64.exe
Going to uninstall and reinstall.

This time I ran the installer and the update as admin and from the game menu when I click on play East Front/West Front/Rising Sun absolutely nothing happens at all.
When I check the event log I see this:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\Rising Sun\rising sun.exe".
Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found.
Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
I am on a 64-bit machine, why is it tryig to run or find something that is win32?
Maybe JTCS can't run on windows 64 bit?

It can because I have a windows 64 machine that I just built and it runs perfectly fine.
So, there is something weird with your set up that we are trying to troubleshoot.

Here is everything that I see. Sorry for the size I have a 4k monitor:

What happens if you right click on the Rising Sun.exe and change the compatibility settings as described in this thread: HERE ?

RE: 2020 JTCS won't run on Windows 10
Hmm, that SIDE_BY_SIDE error is usually becomes the Microsoft package wasn't installed correctly
