When I upgraded to 4.09m on my new system (Win 7) and used the SecuROM etc as previously described it did not "convert" to a non-DVD version...As far as I know, DVD installs which require the disk in the drive to run, have never been "converted" to non DVD operation simply by installing any of the official patches. Whatever you did before to get it to run without the disk, it must have been something other than, or more than, an official patch to 4.09m.
There have been, for many years, "no disk" files available, such as the one you got from your colleagues. The Russian versions of the game do not require the disk in the drive, and since all the Mod Activators are based on the Russian il2fb.exe, they too, run without the disk in the drive.
