THEN, you can run the file named "setup.exe." This is the actual installer routine, and will run perfectly fine on Windows 7 or Windows 8. and those are small executables which are simply "loaders." DO run each of those first (they set up a few registry keys you need, but then crash without providing any feedback). it's a plain text file.įor IL-2 Sturmovik, for Forgotten Battles, for Ace Expansion Pack, and for Pacific Fighters, each Disk #1 "autoexec.inf" file has the file named after the disk start first. You can open it with Notepad, by the way. But you can get around that easily enough.įor the original IL-2 Sturmovik, if you go to the first CD, you'll find "autoexec.inf." ANYTIME you have difficulty with a disk-based program doing what it's supposed to do, check that file first. Can anyone help? Installing the CD/DVD based IL-2 games is more of a challenge than it ought to be, because there's some OS-specific scripting in the installer routine. I don't remember having these issues in the past. I get the popup asking if I want to run the installation, click yes, and then nothing happens. You see I own the original game, found the CD, and tried installing it just now, but nothing happens. I've had the urge to play this game again recently, and though I own IL2-46 I'm trying to install IL2 from the disc. I know I used to use Win2K for a while.) I own Pacific theatre (I forget the official name,) and the complete Il2-'46, and even have a folder of it on my backup drive with a few mods, but I've been wanting to play the original for some time now, and thought I never could, but thankfully I still have the CD! =D It may be that when I first bought the game I had WinXP (Almost certainly, though I don't remember when the different versions were released.

I tried both setup.exe & SetupUbi.exe in all compatibility options and with UAC disabled to no luck, but i was able to actually run the game (without installing it) by clicking the il2.exe which resides into the IL2 folder of the CD. Vythonaut: Just tested my copy of the IL-2 Sturmovik (2001's first version) and i couldn't get it to install on my Win7 64bit system. Anyway, your best option as i said in my previous post, is to go with the newer and updated IL-2 1946 which, also, is the only version that can be modded (if you want).
