Im not sure if this has been covered elsewhere, although I've spent quite a lot of time searching the web for an answer, but I'm having issues installing 1946 from CD.

I'm running
2.9Ghz quad core
Radeon 6670-2GB graphics card
Win 7 64 Bit

When I go to install the game into C:/IL2 (I followed the 64 bit advice), it takes a very long time to open the application and cycle through the checklist. Then when I get to the green installation screen I get to 21% (removing applications) and then it just sits there spinning its wheels for ages until I finally get an error message that reads: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) and when I click OK I get an Error - 1603 message and then the installation closes.

I'm the farthest thing from tech savvy so I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. Any help getting this installed would be greatly appreciated!

cheers

Thanks vpmedia, I should have said I'd seen that thread and tried the 1033 folder option. Still sticking at 21% even though the disk is clean, and I ran it as an administrator.

Unfortunately I don't have a second computer that I can install it on and then cut and paste across the game into the new computer

Is your 1946 DVD is bought in 2013 or more ago?

In those time DVD contains Secu-Rom copy protect system and it often brings problems with some DVD drive and Windows7/8 like needs very long time or files to install.

I heard from 2013Late or 2014's DVD is Secu-Rom free and no problems on Windows7/8.
Or buy one more lisence from online shop like gog or Steam.

Thanks western0221. Yeah my copy is a few years old now so that may be the problem. Although, I did try and copy the contents of the CD over to the hard drive and install from there but when I did the cab1 file only copies half way and then I get an error message the file could not be read. There is no damage to the CD so I'm guessing it is a case of start again with a new disk...

There should be a sticky about this Secu-Rom stuff.
