Good that it worked!
Just to continue a bit... If you go to the IL2 top level directory and right click -> properties -> Security and look at the rights for the IL2 folder - which users have "full control"? It may be that you have an "old" dir from a previous installation and that "your" user (or the group "Users") don't have full control. Add that in that case. Another advice is to not install games to the "Program Files" directory as Windows 7 is a bit picky with normal users changing files in that directory. Therefore it's better to create a "Games" directory in the root (C:\Games) or whatever drive you use.
If you at times get problems changing a file due to lack of privileges, you can always run notepad in "elevated" mode (assuming you are in the administrator group). Go to "Programs" in the start menu and find "Notepad" in the "Accessories" folder. Then right click it and select "Run as administrator". Then open the file you want to edit via "open" in the menu. That will make you "God" when you edit troublesome files
