I have just purchased Dungeon Keeper 2 but every time I try to launch it I get an error message saying it is missing the weanetr.dll file. I've checked the game folder and the file is definitely in there. I have tried repairing, updating, reinstalling, and running the game with different compatibility settings. I've spent a couple hours googling the problem to no avail and am completely out of ideas.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I finally found the fix for it, turn on DirectPlay in the control panel and go to programs and features, then click on turn windows features on or off, next go to the folder there called legacy components, expand it and in there you should find a program called DirectPlay, click the box beside it and wait for it to install, then you are good to go

what worked for me with the direct play solution (after 7 and a half hours of trying other things..)
control panel -> programs -> programs & features -> turn windows features on/off (this was on the left of my window) -> legacy components -> direct play (selecting this selected the whole file for me but just in case there's other stuff in yours, this direct play is what you're looking for).
click OK. start the game and weep tears of joy as i did
this is the link for the direct play solution, its kinda quiet but it works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XYyGB-Tn3g
