Yes it works with Vista, but when Vista came out many people reported a problem on installing from the CD. I have had myself the same problem. The CD won't run from the normal *exe - I think i remember it has something to do with the dictator-like administrator control Vista employs. You can bypass however if you explore the CD and run start-up from the "a.exe". I have made a post about this back in the time on the sim outhouse:

"Insert the IL2 DVD. When the pop up window comes up do not choose "autorun" or "autoinstall". Several people (me included) have had the problem of a spinning disk without anything happening. Instead, choose "explore disk content" and go to the IL2 Sturmovik root folder. There, find the "a.exe" and double-clic. IL2 should now install just fine."
