Try this m8:

firstly, unistall.

The go to c:_program files and make a folder titled something like *Sim game* or something along those lines. In the folder, create another one and title that Il-2 Modded. Put the il-2 disk in and then search the files on the disk an run the a.exe installer. Point the installer to this new folder. Il-2 will (should) install.

It worked for me.

Many thanks, I'll give that a go. It's not the installing that's the issue, it's running the bloody thing afterwards... :S

Cheers!
