Any reason for not just using the self installers?
WTH are bat files?

Well this is the thing using the selfinstallers as said in my earlier post is where the problem lies.
From my understanding is the bat or batch files are files that your supposed to be able to have or make choices from ...ie the ones in the games root folder like selecting TIR 6 degrees thingy and using the version switcher things. THEY DON'T work cause they are batch files.
The aircraft installer is supposed to ask you what version of sound mod you are using, again dependent on a batch file....again I never get asked what version of sound mod. again it's a batch file.
I even tried taking the batch file registry thingy from my son's computer and right clicking and selecting merge but still get diddly. From what I can gleem from reading techie forums on this stuff thats supposed to be the process. But again maybe I'm screwing things up somewheres along the line.
I have done several reinstalls of 1946 cleaned out all the leftovers in my drive and registry regarding IL2 1946, hell I even installed it twice more on my other drives and still the batch files no workie.
So from what i can see only a total reinstall of Windows ( But that ain't happening until something major blows up) will fix this unless some computer guru can figure this stuff out.
