How To Make A Dual Install Of 409 and Your Current Game.

[Beebop-RIP]

As an Admin at M4T I was able to access the 4.09 patch a day early.

Thanks Beebop. I'd like to add that installation over a clean version of 4.09b1m is also safe to do. I've guided several people through that already, without problems.

One thing that did occur during my installation was a revival of that old hoodoo, SecuRom! That occurred because I bought a very early copy of FB which had that particular piece of crap written into it. It asked me to insert the disc, which I did, and then it told me I had the wrong disc Rather than let this pos drag me through hoops, I d/led and swapped in a friend's il2fb.exe which worked fine. My friend had bought a later version of FB without SR, and had upgraded to 4.09m without problem, so his .exe worked fine

I will upload the good il2fb.exe to the vault if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

OT but...

Nice clock on that Phenom Ross!

3.6Ghz is impressive, so you did an upgrade recently that I missed?

I Installed over a 4.09b1m version also after trying to install without sucess over a 4.08 mods enabled copy. I also keep a back up copy of the 4.08 version on an 8gb memory stick which will play on a relatively low spec laptop

Ok, I have it installed now but with the no cd .exe it freezes at 95%

Any offers of a fix?....

I have placed the il2fb.exe that I use into the Vault. Check the .exe that you have now: if it is less than 4.33Mb in size then replace it with the one I have uploaded. Please back-up the current one, of course, in case mine doesn't help. Apart from possibly not working, this file will not damage your PC or your file-system. Only to be used for 4.09m installations....

good luck, hope it helps

you bet...get it from the DD Vault...downloads way (and I mean WAY) faster than the mirror sites.
