if you are runnning 64 bit windows 7 this may help.

I tried to install it from the dvd lots and failed. I think then copy protection does not work on 64 bit windows 7. in the end i paid £5 to get it from steam and that version works fine on my pc.

Just installed it yesterday on my 64 bit system. Had to open the cd folder and start it manually because autorun didn´t work.

I have Win 7 Pro and got same problem first. Anyway, long time IL-2 player knows what helps.

Open my computer, select DVD-drive and open disc. Select a.exe and run it.

Doesn't work for me...
I have XP SP3 and the strange thing is it DID work before???

Try doing a firmware upgrade on your dvd drive. Could just be a wonky driver thing.

Nice one Raven. Explored to a.exe, right click, run as administrator, now up and running on 7 67-bit. Yee-hah! jj

hello M4TE,
have you tried adding the IL2 1946 to your systems
DEP Data Execution Protection?
Start> Control Panel> System> System Protection> Advanced>
Performance Options> DEP> Turn On DEP For All Programmes &
Services Except Those I Select.
Browse for your root IL2 folder & desktop locations for IL2 1946
add each & re-boot, hopefully of some help.
Regards
David aka ebz7350
