Ok guys I think some of us has to consider a few significant points here.
Now for what I recommend.
First off, try this if you have a downloaded copy or disk copy (Not Pre-cracked) then I'd recommend a fresh installation for this then before any patching or what ever, copy the game root folder into another folder of your choice. (E.g, Documents, Desktop) Just have a folder prepared for it, (IL-2 1946 Documents, etc...) I've don't this on a Dell Dimension 3000 with a 34 GB Hardrive and on Windows XP. It worked! I've downloaded it from D2D.(Note: D2D had already patched the game to 4.08m)
It's been known to allow you to install another whole copy of the game but then prompts you for an activation code
From the disk you'll have the freedom to use installer again but some people have reported that if you are using the Installer again, it will just promt you to delete and replace the current game installed. Some people say if you use the installer and was prompted to browse to another folder to install it would do it no problem, perhaps different OS? (not Verified)
This is where the second option come in.(Strongly Recommend):!:
Have either a crack disk or pre-cracked copy. Trusting you have enough room, the pre-crack install would be installed in either another hard drive say like an external and you would copy over all the from there to an place of your choice. This allow me to install 4 copies. Simply from a fresh 4.07m copy.
If not already cracked the I suppose using a crack disk for each install that you intend to use however this has not been tested or confirmed to work.
Now this was all done with both windows XP and Vista as I had to copy over an already modded copy of the game to another computer and it worked no problem!
- Where did you get the game from? Download or disk?
- Did this the download or disk came pre-cracked?
- Which OS do you use (Trust me there's a difference)
