Kapteeni and Agracier. - thanks for the responses gents.
I think you are correct - I need another version for the Unified Installer and another clean install for 4.09 that is imminent.
When 1946 was released I treated it as was originally intended and installed it as an add on over Forgotten Battles.
It has worked fine with no problems that some others seemed to encounter.
However, with 4.09 imminent I thought I would do a clean install of 1946, retaining my original (the folder is still named Forgotten Battles) that has numerous Mods.
When I inserted the 1946 disc it did not give me the option to install, just Uninstall, Read Me and Exit.
I believe I need to change the existing IL2 Forgotten Battles folders name before I can do a clean install. Do I change the name back once the clean install is completed, i.e. can I have Folders "IL2 Forgotten Battles", "Mods IL2 Forgotten Battles", and "IL2 1946"?
I am assuming they will all work with the no DVD exe with the shortcuts renamed for Identification purposes?
My apologies if these appear to be dumb questions but at 63 I am not keen on changing names of folders unless I am confident I am not going to bugger anything up.
