I have only installed UI 1.1 recently but I have not had any problems with it.
Il2VersionSwitcher.exe is installed in the game root folder, not on desktop.
But I use a shortcut icon on the desktop to work it.
I normally use the game icon to start IL-2 but it also works if I use the Switch and Run option in the Version Switcher.
It wont work if the exe fie is on desktop because it will not be able to access the required folders.
If yours was on the desktop then it may have started the process of removing files but not been able to paste in the new ones because it couldn't find them.
The only files swapped in and out by the version switcher are:
files.sfs
il2fb.exe
wrapper.dll
If you look in the _GameSwitchers folder you can see which files are required to be installed for each version.
If you want to recover the game I suggest trying to get back to v4.08 unmodded to begin with.
Copy the files from root/ _GameSwitchers/4.08 Mods OFF (original) into your root folder and remove the wrapper.dll file if present. Click on il2fb.exe to start the game.
If you get v4.08 Mods OFF working then it will probably be easiest to reinstall UI 1.1 from that point. Before re-installing, delete root/files (if it exists) and delete MODS folder (or remove to a backup). Don't delete the _GameSwitchers folder.
