Thanks for nothing

If you have nothing to say on topic you could at least stay away.

My IL2 is stable and as good as in Vista or XP. I just installed Windows 7 on a separate harddrive, installed drivers for Win7 from Windows Update.
(Q9550 - 8800GTX - 4GB RAM).
TIR4, Saitek drivers as well as TS are fine too.

I can run IL2 from the original drive, but I copied the Ubisoft folder to my Win 7 harddrive in order to make HL happy enough to find the game.

You need to to use the graphic drivers that are supplied from Windows Update.

Hello,

I can't install IL-2 on Windows 7. After I run "a.exe", when it says "Configuring Windows Installer" it crashes and says "This program doesn't function anymore, you'll be notified if a solution is found". I tried running it as Administrator, disabling UAC but no sugar. The problem is with the windows installer file "IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.msi".

Any help is appreciated.

Ha! There seems to be a bug with CEIP(Consumer Experience Improvement Program) that causes Microsoft Installer's and Internet Explorer to crash.

Here's the fix if anyone experiences the same problem:

I am using those drivers. BTW, found another workaround (not perfect, I admit) - I'm running Il-2 on full screen 1680x1049 - somehow that one line makes all the difference...
