SOLVED SSE DOESN'T START / LAUNCH / DLL ERROR QUESTVIEWER3D CUSTOMCOMMAND.DLL :

I had same problem for months after SSE was working in windows 7.
I tried all the advice about the reinstalling from disc and the 3rd party redist physx DirectX reinstall reboot and etc... nothing worked even after reinstalling windows 7 and problem also occured on XP demo worked OK.
I found that this version of C++ vcredist_x86.EXE (there is also 64 bit version)is actually a security update from 6/7/2011 to the 2005 redistributable and addresses the exact problem with .dll having wrong path
this is the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update this is the only thing that worked for me download this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=26347 or 64 bit version
#1 run it no need to uninstall older version or anything
#2 reboot
#3 now run unregister.exe from the Steamapps ship simulator extremes folder
#4 reboot
#5 run steam and SSE it will say 57% 71% initialising and bring you to input screen for product key then you should be all set.

Updating Microsoft Visual works fine without the unregister etc. Yet great spotting there! Many thanks!
