[XB-49]

All my misery and requests for help over the past few days have originated from a disasterous attempt at converting my game to 4.09b1m a few days ago. As a result I have been unable to access any of my mods and sound files despite them still being present in my mods folder. After many fruitless attempts at trying to restore my mods I decided to remove IL2 from my computer and reinstall it. After sucessfully installing and patching my game to 4.08m I attempt to install Unified Installer 1.1 to no avail. At around 99% into the install it jammed while trying to install Paintschemes and gave me a message to reboot Windows and try again. I attempted to run the game and it ran fine, but the mods and sounds included with the Unified Installer were not present. After trying re-install UI several times with no sucess I decided to re-install the game. I re-installed IL2 and patched it to 4.08m. But this time I decided to install English Sound Mod 0.6 (my original mod activator) instead. But this time my install stopped again at 99% while trying to load files.sfs. I ran my game and again it ran fine. I pasted a copy of my mods, files, and paintschemes folders I had luckily made just before my 4.09 download. My game ran but my mods and sounds are still not present. Does anyone have any idea of what I have gotten myself into?
