Flyboy SimHQ Member Registered: 11/29/06 Posts: 1091 Loc: England, UK	I have packaged and uploaded LB2 'installed', for those of you who have Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32-Bit and 64-Bit) and can't even install LB2 because of errors. Download, install and see the readme for usage info. LB2-WinVista-7-Fix.exe (226.76 MB) http://www.filefront.com/14863009/LB2-WinVista-7-Fix.exe Note that you still need the LB2 CDs or images to play. _________________________ Flyboy's Site Flyboy's Online Store Flyboy's YouTube Channel NEW Flyboy's Information & Reviews (News, book/TV/game reviews, articles, my views and more) NEW MILNET (Defense and military information, news, helicopter section and more)

Subguru SimHQ Member Registered: 01/07/04 Posts: 219 Loc: Washington, DC	What does this mean? "This install is intended to be used with the Daemon-Tools (or similar) CD image mounting procedure." And, why can't I find LB2.exe in the folder /Jane's/Longbow 2 after running this install program? Edited by Subguru (11/13/09 06:23 AM)

It means that most people will find it more beneficial to use a CD image mounting process, as this cuts down terrain map load times and means that you don't have to keep using the CDs. Daemon-Tools is the most popular tool to use to mount CD images. Your LB2.exe file was probably quarantined or removed by your anti-virus program. This file is known to have a false-positive virus (meaning it is in fact not harmful) that AV programs still keep picking up on. _________________________ Flyboy's Site Flyboy's Online Store Flyboy's YouTube Channel NEW Flyboy's Information & Reviews (News, book/TV/game reviews, articles, my views and more) NEW MILNET (Defense and military information, news, helicopter section and more)

I went out and purchased Panda Security just so I could fly Longbow 2. _________________________ Fritz Gunter iamfritz@hotmail.com http://www.iamfritz.com <- visit my site for cool military aviation merchandise!

Subguru SimHQ Member Registered: 01/07/04 Posts: 219 Loc: Washington, DC	Thanks. Now if only I can get McAfee to stop sending the .exe to quarantine... without turning off the bloody realtime virus scan

Flyboy SimHQ Member Registered: 11/29/06 Posts: 1091 Loc: England, UK	I hate McAfee, I got it pre-installed with my new laptop. It automatically removed 'suspicious' files, even from within .zip files - without even notifying me. I swiftly uninstalled it and replaced it with Avira. _________________________ Flyboy's Site Flyboy's Online Store Flyboy's YouTube Channel NEW Flyboy's Information & Reviews (News, book/TV/game reviews, articles, my views and more) NEW MILNET (Defense and military information, news, helicopter section and more)

Flyboy SimHQ Member Registered: 11/29/06 Posts: 1091 Loc: England, UK	Well I'm very happy to hear that it works for you Phoenix. It' no big secret how I did it. I just installed the sim on to my old WinXP system (hell, we are moving fast if I can call XP 'old'), patched it, fixed it and then just put it in the installer. No magic, just old fashioned common sense (and a lot of input from guys on here in the past!) _________________________ Flyboy's Site Flyboy's Online Store Flyboy's YouTube Channel NEW Flyboy's Information & Reviews (News, book/TV/game reviews, articles, my views and more) NEW MILNET (Defense and military information, news, helicopter section and more)
