I believe Gog already knows about this issue as it affects other games in their catalog besides this one. Just posting for all of you that have not yet upgraded to windows 10.

This game has an incompatible winmm.dll . Currently winmm.dll needs to be removed or renamed so game will play. No music in game with this fix however. I read by other members this is scheduled to be fixed.

Call to Power 2 also has this issue.

Thanks so much. This works great! Now I can at least play. I was really looking forward to it.
And no music is not nearly as much of a big deal as no sound effects say, or no sound at all. Ingame sound effects and communications chatter seems to all be there.

The sound works fine for me on Windows 10.

BTW: I found this same issue with winmm.dll and Windows 10 in the following games:
- Dark Reign
- Deadlock II
- Seven Kingdoms 2
- The Settlers 3

okay, so i've renamed winmm.dll and it almost works, it actaully opens to a black screen where, whenever i click on the screen it says not responding and crashed. how would one fix this?

Good fix but here's something better, in windows 10 winmm.dll has been updated.
Go to C:/Windows/System32/ and locate winmm.dll copy and paste it replacing the one in the game directory.
I don't know about Call to the Power 2, Dark Reign, Deadlock II, Seven Kingdoms 2, The Settlers 3 but it does work for Rainbow Six.
The sound issue arises from a third-party codec being used call VoxWare last version was released in 2004, which is newer then the version released with the game, I don't think without an original install disc for Rainbow Six it will be possible to have sound properly anyways. I have tried installing the last version released with still no luck. I tried replacing the files currently in the game folder with the new ones and keeping the same names as the old ones still nothing. I have sound in my game, in the Options menu turn on Max Sound, I don't hear music in game but I still at least hear voices and effects.

dcschwartz: Can you explain how you did this?
I didn't need to regedit at all and mine works fine in fullscreen. What he meant by compatibility mode and 16 bit is done by right clicking the RainbowSix.exe and choosing compatibility tab then changing the values. What I did to get mine to run was Compatibility Xp (sp3), Run as administrator and downloaded what another user posted to convert the sounds for windows 10 lookup his post and it now runs fullscreen with music (http://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_xwing_and_tie_fighter_series/new_winmmdll_fix_remastered_edition_on_windows_10)

I am still having troubles trying to run this game on Windows 10. I have renamed the winmm.dll to winmm.dll2 and I go to install game, it just stalls out. I launch the autoplay and it bring up the splash screen to Play, Install etc. So I click play this time, it launches to a black screen and then says rainbowsix.exe failed.

There is no winmm.dll in rainbowsix directory. Can you screenshot where to put this file? I am not able to install the game at all.

h3adhilla I am getting similar issues as you are.

Symptoms:
Game launches to black screen, in very low resolution. No sounds. Cursor goes from busy to normal mouse pointer. If I wait, nothing happens, it just stays at the black screen. If I click it says that RainbowSix.exe has stopped working..

What I have Done
As KoKINGok said on November 10, 2015, I followed the link to the SW XWing page to download the winmm.dll fix. I removed the winmm.dll in the game directory and replaced it with the one from that thread as well as the other dll's, though I doubt that R6 is using those. I set compatability settings to Windows XP SP3, running as admin.

Any advice from here?

I have the same problem as weasel7711.
But my copy is from Uplay and not GOG. Also I originally did not have the winmm.dll in the R6 folder or subfolders.

I have tried copying the dll from win32 and changed comp to XP3 for all EXEs in the R6 folder.

Any advice??

Thirding the problem that weasel7711 and Torchstone reported, tried it on my Windows 10 laptop, replaced winmm.dll with the version from my system32, booted to black screen and crashes when I click.

If it's of any use, I also installed Rainbow Six on another computer running Windows 7, replaced winmm.dll with the version from that computers system32, and it appears to work just fine. The problem may be particular to Windows 10 (and maybe 8, haven't tried there).
