Hot Fix for Patch 4.11
I have just returned to IL2-1946 after some time. Managed to install the game in a stand-alone folder and it played fine. After reading the great information in Nuggets Guide I began the process of updating the patches via the link to Mission Today. Downloaded the patches in the order noted playing the game after each patch to ensure everything is working.Following the downloading of the 4.11 Patch I noted that there was a final Hot FIx 4.11.1M. I am not very computer orientated but the previous patches installed fairly easily, unzipped the patch and downloaded to the standalone folder. Following the downloading of the hot fix I get the message :-
Windows can't open the file.
File IL2_411hotfix.rar
To open the file Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to loook it up automatically or you can manually select from a list of programmes.
What do you want to do?
Use the web service to find the programme.
Find from list of programmes.
Obviously this is a different process from the previous patches.
Can someone advise on the way to download the fix or alternatively should I just give it a miss.
Cheers

You do not need to apply that specific 4.11 hotfix, that file named IL2_411Hotfix.rar is not the 4.11.1m patch.
What you need is the 4.11.1m patch. (The file you downloaded was a temporary patch, its contents are in the 4.11.1m patch)
The 4.11.1m patch is an executable, it's name is Il2_411_1_INT.exe
Good Luck.

What FT said.
You get the error because Windows will not handle .rar archives natively. There is only minimal support for .zip archives.
Install the free 7Zip archive manager. That will handle just about any archive format.
