My question is, Where EXACTLY do you see the "V3" you refer to??
You say

ANY "enhanced version purchased a few years ago" would be V1. There has
NEVER been an upgrade to the basic CD version of the game SPECIFICALLY to avoid problems like this.
Everyone starts with V1 then builds the game to the current level by patching sequentially oldest to newest and if you started with the DL verison and then upgraded to the CD version
you MUST start the process of patching up all over again.
If you are starting from a physical CD version or a DL of the CD version or even if you are starting from the the basic DL version of the game you MUST start building the game from V1 NOT "V3"
I think, since this has been going on and on that the problem started with the assumption you could start with V3.
ALL of the DLL's were issued with V1. As Andy say, some may have been updated but if you repeatedly get messages that the game cannot find the DLL's then there are only two explanation
1/ You are not starting with V1
or
2/ Windows 7 does even stranger things with the game files than we had previously thought possible
but in this case I'm thinking it's 1/
There are NINE .Dll's the game needs to run. They should all be in the main root directory of the game.
