Ah, so that's why you must have x or y installer for certain Mods - different paths...
I haven't really studied the installers but they seem to be WinRAR self extractor based with questions.
Path to extract to (IL2 install directory), extract a folder tree complete with files then probably a batch file set to "Run after extraction" to modify existing files. (Not sure why menu changes are needed though)
When you say "UI only" do you mean you extract installers locally, create new folders (if required), copy the files to them and open bat files in edit mode then make any necessary alterations manually?
I'm sure I could do that...
In fact I think I'll do just that next time (after backing up my existing that is)
:wink:
Experience: Once wrote a similar installer so that my 8 year old niece could install an already patched/NoCD version of The Sims Hot Date+Vacation, which even added the required Windows registry entries, with just one double-click!
