Earlier today I discovered upon trying to play online for the first time in a very long time that there was an IL-2 4.09.
I installed the patch but it completely disagreed with my mods and wouldn't load properly, I decided a fresh install would be best for installing new versions of mods and the such (I also found out about AAA today).
Uninstalled without a problem, but then when I went to install the game again it got to "Preparing to install..." and stopped with the error "1628: Failed to Complete Installation" and had to be closed.
I've tried removing all trace of the original IL2 1946 installation with no luck and I'm hoping there's some fix for this? It's not nice to think I was playing 4.08 fine just a few hours ago and now I can't even install the game.
If my disk is buggered (It doesn't look it, there doesn't seem to be a single tiny scratch on the thing, and I mean the .msi file rather than the actual DVD), which I hope it isn't... Is there any other way to get the game installed? Will mods like HSFX work with a copy from Steam? If it turns out nothing can be done then I could at least have a handy digital copy without the patching mess?
