Yes, it was the crappy secure rom protection that was the problem.
I think the BoE install, or rather, it's patch, left some stuff in the /users/apdata/ file structure I missed, and that's what was preventing the simple replacement of the install folder from working.
Nonetheless, it's worrying that newer hardware and OS make it so difficult to install. I wonder how the Steam version fares? As you say, IDE CD burners have always had problems with IL2 disks, but this new SATA CD just flatly refused to run it.
Ironicaly, the UP install was a breeze after finally getting IL2 installed. Very well thought out.
But my point still stands - it seems that most on this board (or the Zoo) are waiting with baited breath for yet another 109 load out option or for the plane of thier choice to finaly get the correct rivet pattern over the gun covers. Or evén worse, still hlding out for the P51 to be finaly "fixed"...
I'm much more interested in the game engine it's self. Dgen sucks, static campaigns are limited and the interface horrible.
It seems 4.10 may actually be more than just another new plane/skin pack, a development I'd really like to praise and encourage.
