    The Booty Box installer will not run.

    It installed fine but everytime I try to run it, I get a message saying "This programs has caused and error and Windows is shutting it down. You must restart."

    I am running W2K and everything else is fine.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Unbelievable! I think I will wait before paying â£9.99 for something that might not like my game install.

    Hey Ivan

    Question.. I have BootyBox installed.. it seems to be DL "il2-pe2.exe" right now. Once that is done, Im guessing that this "il2-pe2.exe" executable is a stand alone file that we will be able to run in the future when ever we do a re-install.. that is to say we dont need to go though this BootyBox download **** each time right? Just burn the "il2-pe2.exe" to a CD and run it.. Please say yes! <G>

    I got it working.

    I had the 'You need the full installation' message then after a bit of random clicking about in the Bootywhatever suddenly it launched and a bit into the process it says 'Internal error: an attempt was made to expand the "app" constant before it was initialized'...

    Anyway, it seems to have expanded all the files I need to patch to 4.05m.

    What I'm worried about is the future add-ons and their installation procedures and their approval of the alternative installation method I had to use for 4.05.

    Oh well, we shall see.

    Just an advice for the payment stuff

    With no credit card, I was keen to get it today, and I find out that I had 300 "loyality" points (don't know what they're called on the english shop site) because I bought stuff there previously (SH3 + recognition manual and Heroes of M&M 5 Collectors Edition to be precise - that's 2 games). Those 300 points were worth 15â"š¬, so I could buy the Pe-2 addon without actually paying, now a single one of these points left .

    Maybe someone else can make use of that and hasn't recognized it yet .

    Then it will ask you for the code that sent to you by e-mail to unlock exe. Then it`s all yours. Setup is in the bootybox directory.

    Finally I got it working. This is what I did: I made a backup copy of my FB folder just as TPN_Cephas advised. Then I re-installed FB again after which the Pe-2 file did install. It seems that it really was a game registry problem.

    But, after this PF did not launch any more. Pe-2 installed the addon to a folder of that BB-installer program on C-drive (I dont remember the program having asked whether I want anything in my Windows C-drive..).

    Well, I copied the contents of the Pe-2 addon to my FB folder on D-drive. PF merged install launches now normally and shows the version 4.05.

    This kind of problems should not be very difficult to predict when planning a vice installation procedure. I really hope UbiSoft would do something to improve the situation before the next addon.

    When finally launching the game I could see that Oleg & fellows have done a really good job with Pe-2, the first experience of flying it was truly positive. I really appreciate your work and effort for this great historical sim!

    Thanks a million Crazyivan & TPN_Cephas for your help!!

    If they bother sending you the unlock key that is! I'm still waiting.......

    I resent them taking my cash, and making me wait until the bank holiday is over before they pull their fingers out. If at all.

    No more downloads from that site for me.
