well I did it, I mean I was trying to uninstall my il2 1946 but instead of doing it in the regular way I just deleted the main file from my c:
and now that i'm trying to install a fresh version from my original dvd i can't seem to be able to do it. what appens is that once I run the dvd it starts uninstalling the game but it's unable to complete it.
I just get a note saying that there's a problem with windows install error 1316 error occurring when attempting to read from the file C:\windows installer\il-2 sturmovik1946.msi

and then I get another pop up wich goes: error 1603 fatal error during installation.


please help me! all I want is to be able to install a fresh copy of il-2 modded to ui 1.1

what can I do?

In order to be able to install a fresh version of Il2 1946 you have to manually delete all previous IL2 folders (save separately those you are going to use again) from your C drive, using the windows explorer. This will allow for a "clean" installation, which subsequently you can "beef up" to the Mod version of yopur choice.

thanks I'll try to find all remaining files on C: and delete them.

Your best option is Windows Explorer - Control Panel - Add or remove programs and there you can uninstall Il-2.

Download the free program REVO. http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uni ... nload.html It's a wonderful program.

If it were me I'd probably try restoring it from the recycle bin and uninstalling it the right way

It looks like revoinstaller should do the trick. I was going to suggest a registry cleaner like regcure which would remove the entries telling windows it was installed, then you could start from scratch.
