Cannot Start Dayz: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file"

Recommended Posts

I keep getting the following error every time I start DayZ:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

I have tried different combinations of running as admin, deleting files then verifying, reinstalling various things such as directx and VCRedist, disabling antivirus etc. Nothing is working.

The files are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013\

 

vcredist_x64.exe & vcredist_x86.exe

 

Run them both and then give it a try, I believe it restores permissions to a borked .dll

Still no luck unfortunately.
