I have, since all the above, done a fresh windows xp install , and a fresh game install, and now all the installers and stuff works like a charm.
My explanation abuve works, but really is very rough and is only a stopgap. If you are experienceing difficulties with using the mod activator and ac isntallers, and a clean IL2 install does not solve it, the problem is in your windows services and registry, and really, you should think of the joys of starting afresh, and just go for it :o)
PS. I still dont use auto installs for aircrafts, but since I learned the hard way how to install them, this is no problem, and I dont have to deal with the silly alphabetical order of planes created by the auto installers....so it all has a good ending!
