I'm not sure if the download version contains the same base files as the DVD version, but on the DVD version if the usual "setup.exe" file doesn't start the install sequence correctly the 'fix' was to use the "a.exe" file instead. Opening that file usually would launch the install procedure on WinVista and/or Win7 systems. Too late to check now of course, since you've already got a refund coming... _________________________ Administration Officer Wing Walkers (virtual) Combat Squadron

I checked the number of transferred files and they matched the correct number of files, so they were all there.. I think that "a.exe" is not included in the download just in the dvd version. Don't know if is someone here who has already downloaded this sim with success?!

I had just bought a fresh copy of the game to load onto my new gaming machine with windows 7 64 bits and was getting no where. Luckily I stumbled on this thread and it now works fine. Plenty of IL-2 46 dvds on eBay, why bother downloading one.

Maj_Alvega Member Registered: 12/27/10 Posts: 824 Loc: Portugal	Thanks Wheels My conclusion about this is that there was something wrong or with the file downloaded (maybe corrupted) or the installation sequence (they look like different, at least the setup window!). I really don't know but now is working. Cheers _________________________ "Keep in mind, the loss of a fight begins not when your opponent is 500' from your six and getting ready to shoot.
