Strider Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 ~S, m8's Got a new rig with i5-4670k, GTX 970 4GB, MSI Z97. Tried many times to install 1946 from disk but no joy. Tried the compatibility troubleshooter, says "incompatible program". That can't be right, or can it? Want to get back in the skies with HSFX7. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! ~S!

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 5, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2015 I've taken the liberty of removing two of the three identical threads you started mate! lol Install IL2 in a folder not protected by Windows - So create a folder in c: called IL2 (so c:\IL2) and then point the installation there. Hop on to TS if you need a hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks, m8! Sticky finger on "Post". It won't run the disk at all. Tried about 20 times. I get the UAC dialogue box and click "Yes" but nothing happens after that---no title screen or anything. Disk doesn't spin in the external DVD player tho' other disks work. I will install TS tonight and get that set up. Thanks for the offer! Smooth skies! Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 5, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2015 Open a windows explorer window (press the windows key and 'e' together), find your external drive, right-click on it and select 'open'. right-click on a.exe and select 'run as administrator' and then follow the prompts.

gec Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Open a windows explorer window (press the windows key and 'e' together), find your external drive, right-click on it and select 'open'. right-click on a.exe and select 'run as administrator' and then follow the prompts. it was a llooooooong time a go when i was last time installing il2 from the disk, but i remember that even sense win 7 installation would only work in the way Jabo just described m8. By da way Strider, great to c u again m8! was long time to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 ~S! Hi, Gec! Great to see you too! Looking forward to more good times when I get this installed. I tried exactly as suggested by Jabo (Run as Administrator from a File Explorer window on setup.exe in the game files) at least 10 times before I first posted. In between, I ejected and re-inserted the disk in case it was getting a bad read. No dust or scratches on the disk. Brand new external DVD player that plays other disks just fine. I get the UAC dialogue box appear (Do you wish to allow setup.exe by unknown publisher to make changes to the hard drive on your computer?), click "Yes", dialogue box disappears, get the spinning blue circle for 2 seconds and then nothing. Through the compatibility troubleshooter, I set XP (Service Pack 3) but still no advance past the UAC box. "incompatible program". Not giving up, just not sure what else to try next. ~S!

Strider Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 See here: Thread at 1CForums ~S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi, FT! Thanks for that reference! That link should be stickied! Installing as we speak. Thanks, m8! Once done, I'll make a copy of the game to my secondary HDD and head over to your thread "How to easily install to HSFX7". I owe you 1946 pints, m8! It's 4:10 a.m. here but now I'm too excited to go back to sleep. Oh, oh. "DirectX is not compatible with this version of Windows" I'm at the Setup screen. Will report back later. ~S!

Strider Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 ~S! Success! Runs "The Black Death" at 60 fps with no stutters on Perfect, everything maxed. And I haven't touched the conf,ini yet. Now to install TS, Joystick, TrackIR, do profiles, set controls, etc.Then some practice will be in order. Thanks again, m8's! ~S!

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 6, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 Got hsfx installed yet strider? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Best practice is online with your m8s m8!

Strider Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not yet, m8. Got the game started on my copy "IL2 HSFX7" but didn't change my pilot name to "DD_Strider" yet. Chkmods refuses because I'm not identified as a DD. Then I ran into the frozen cursor bug and couldn't click "Pilot" to do so. What is the fix for the cursor bug? Can't remember. And while I'm here, search won't find the "No cd hack". Is that on these forums? Gotta hit the shower and get ready for work soon, lol! Thanks, m8! ~S!

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 6, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 Send your IP address to ft and he can sort checkmods for you. You won't need the no-cd hack as it's built-in to the mods now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 6, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 incidentally that is your external IP not the one assigned to your computer by your router. Type "show my ip" into Google and it'll tell you what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 ~S! Ground crew error. I was right-clicking il2fb.exe, not a.exe, lol! D/l'd ChkMods1.25. Firewall is OFF, a/v is OFF but when I run ChkMods.exe as admin, error messages: Cannot verify mods version---seems ok because my path is to a vanilla version. Version.ini not d/l---? Blueprint.ini not d/l. Check firewall settins---but it is OFF, warnings abound every time.Turned off my a/v as well.? Any suggestions? Getting more determined. I know this must work. I even d/l'd ChkMods again and ran it but no joy. The good news is I have TS working. Thanks in advance, m8's! Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 6, 2015 2. Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2015 One for FT I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 ~S! m8! It's all good. Its probably something simple although this version of 8.1 does stuff differently from my laptop. Its apparently an OEM for NCIX, my vendor. The ChkMods seems to operate as it should to an extent (id's me and searches path to install) but runs into this firewall settings shutdown at Blueprint ini.. I\m aware of the steps that are supposed to happen and why but can't apply a fix. FT, When you get a chance, I would appreciate discussing this with you. To all other responders, thanks, m8's! Starting to feel at home again---see you in the skies soon, m8's! Got some setup stuff to do but saved my controls and profiles on jpegs so its just a matter of getting 'er done! Plus finding my CH and TrackIR disks, LOL! ~S! Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 7, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted March 7, 2015 Try and turn off the UAC.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks, FT. UAC has been off all along. Does the message "Mod set in use" have any bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
