Problems updating 1946 exp. pack (Window 7)

[hades777]

Hi,

 

For some reason unknown to me, i'm having problems updating IL -2 1946 to version 4.07 & above. Never had these problems before - but that was on a XP comp. (and now i'm using Windows 7). Any ideas what the problem could be?

 

Greetings,

Are you sure the updates are going to the right folder?

If you installed it into one of the Program Files folders you will continue to have problems updating it. Move or copy the entire install from the Program Files folder into another folder and you should be able to patch it properly.

Come to think of it.. Doesn't 1946 install to 4.07? Are you trying to update PF or some earlier version to 1946? That could be your problem.

Thanks for the replies - i already suspected it had something to do with windows 7 (gut fealing) because i never experienced those "upload problems" in XP.

make sure that the updates are going to the main il2 folder m8

I would echo what Crossfade said, and I am about 99% sure Bearcat is correct.  You get 4.07 as the based with 1946.  I am on Win7 and don't have any problems running or installing.  

 

I did have a problem with my CD and it finally crapped out.  GoG.com  sells a DL version of 1946 for like 5$  So I bought that just so I don't have to muss with a cd ever again.

If anyone needs no cd exe let me know and i can send  btw i have paid for all il2 series and would pay again happily this exe is just so handy.
