Problems Installing my IL-2, 1946 game

[Bobhawg53]

Hey guys.  I tried to install my IL-2, 1946 game onto my new computer.  It would not install.  My new computer is windows 7 based and has a great graphics card ect.  Can anyone give me some hints?  I am not very computer savy, so please keep it simple.  Thanks.............

As good as W7 is that and that PITA read only folder bug are the most annoying things in W7. You wold think that if they improved stability they would have at least kept some of the functionality of previous versions..
