I've got the original IL-2 Sturmovik...and need help.

Red October1984 · 04-27-12, 11:19 PM

I want to run this on my windows 7 home premium laptop, but when I put the disc in, the autorun doesn't start and the setup won't run. So I am confined to a dinosaur windows 98 desktop in a cold room. Help please!

I have this problem a lot. Have you tried looking on the disc and clicking on set up and install there? It usually takes a few minutes to kick in to install, it's a real pain.

^Yep,

Happens to me too on Win7, you just go to My Computer right-click your DVD drive and click Open then either Setup.exe should work or that other one called a.exe if it's IL2 1946.

As above, My Computer, DVD drive, Open, right click setup.exe select run as administrator.

Ok. I'll try again. I really like the old IL-2. I got it in the strategic simulations commanders pack thingy with Silent Hunter 2 and Flanker 2.5. I started a new German fighter career the other day and I got 34 kills air and ground already.

Let us know if you got it sorted

because I've got the original IL2 (not 1946) lying around somewhere so if it doesn't work I could give it a look.
