If I'm reading you right. Make sure you have ALL 8 parts of the installer in one folder before you try installing. Once all is installed copy the SWITCHER to your desk top.
If that all Works you did it right. The only thing that comes to mind is .
MAKE sure your OS is updated with the latest " FRAME WORK" from Windows.
I think that is listed in the README file with the switcher.
Took me some time to find the fix also.

Thanks for your advice. I did download all 8 parts, as I mentioned in my post. I'll check to see if my OS is up to date. It should be, because I formatted and reinstalled the Win XP 3 weeks ago and downloaded all the service packs and updates for hours.

Anyways, I have to re-iterate: there is no folder called IL-2 1946 4.08m, as suggested in para 2 of the UI 1.1 installation instructions. It's why I posted some questions in red. The instructions are someone misleading or incomplete. Any further help would be much appreciated.
