Don't want to waste your time, but install prob stopping me
Hi Everyone,
I realize the IL-2 1946 Win 7 issues have been well documented, and I have read through all. I have seen workarounds for install of the DVD, OpenGL vs DirectX thoughts, TAGES driver and SecuRom issues on launching gameplay. After 2 days, I can't get the game to install on my new Win 7 64-bit desktop. I have:
tried the a.exe file as admin
tried copying dvd contents to non Windows program file folder (can't do due to inability to read several parts of the DVD ie. DirectX9c folder .dll components, part of the Data II cabinet file, and the installer file- the other files/folders copy fine)
tried the compatibility troubleshooter
get the same issue when trying to install from all angles: It asks for language, Win Installer starts, goes thru "configuring" stage, hits next stage and I get an error message "1628- Failed to complete Installation"
I don't know how people are getting it to install using the a. file as an admin....not working for me. I assume it might be SecuRom causing reading problems on DVD (I thk it is the Euro edition), but the diagnostic tool won't work on the file on DVD, and can't get the files to hard drive.... Any other updated fixes on an install that won't work based on what I have seen on this/MS sites?
Thanks
