I recently converted my 32bit XP box to Win 7 (32)

However, the setup to Win7 lost my Falcon 4.32 launch capability. The old XP install was retained, but fails to launch because the registry link is lost. Anyone on ideas on how to repair this copy failure?

In the interim, I installed Falcon 4 to create a registry entry that hopefully the Falcon 4.32 install would discover. I did not.

So, now I am seeking to reinstall all 83Gb. YET, ALL MY PAST SOURCES ARE MIA. NO LINKS TO SKUNKWORKS AND BENCHMARK SIULATIONS ARE RESPONSIVE.

Where can one find a complete installation for Falcon 4.32 and its hopeful successor?

Thank you 'tirta' for your assistance. I am now "up in the air' and will shortly commence my archaeology for all the theaters accumulated and their installation in a functional 4.32.

I am surprised, though, by your link to the BMS forum. I am " a registered member" but my membership does not offer such a clean link and Yahoo and Google were of no help either.

Nonetheless, thank you again

Back up old files on external HDD and do clean install, then replace new folders with your backed up folders in the new install. You will have to reinstall theaters on fresh install. If you still have the installers for the theaters, they should work with the new install.

Yep, backup, backup, backup. Then install a fresh copy and overwrite as necessary.
I used to keep backups between updates as well, just in case.
