iL2 Forgotten Battles :(

[Wuerger]

I've gotten excited about iL2 after a decade of no playing any of it. So I install Forgotten Battles which is only iL2 game I have. Unfortunately, I loaded the path update from version 1.0 (original) to 1.22 but even when trying to unzip it the game does not update. I mean it said it unzipped but apparently the game is not acquiring it. I run Windows 7 premium and not sure is that is the problem. Anyone have any instructions on how to go about updating Forgotten Battles after downloading the patch in Windows 7 ?

I have no update to the game as of right now because of this issue

Many thanks to anyone who is willing to put their 2 cents forward.
