How can I make a clean Il2 isntall for CUP? I tried hitting the A.exe on the DVD but it gives me an error and will not install anything. Any idea? I'm on Win7.

[OberstDanjeje]

Don't you have a backup for IL2?
As far as I know with Win7 is impossible to install from DVD

[RealDarko]

No, no backup. I'm toasted then?

I can have acces to a WinXP machine, but can I copy a fresh install from there?

[OberstDanjeje]

oh yes, you can.
it's the best solution
I did it many time from different machine

[RealDarko]

Rgr, will try that. Thanks for helping!

[RealDarko]

Ok, and now what? Is there a step by step install?

[OberstDanjeje]

you should start with the 4.12.2m Maga Patch

and than follow the istruction on CUP 3D

The problem is that as soon as I install SAS Modact my 4.12 install stops working. No idea of why.

Well you're doing something wrong pay close att. to file structure this gets a lot of people on installing even I have missed a file once in a while

[RealDarko]

Think my current problem is with ModAct 3.5. I install Il2 4.07, then patch to 4.12 with the mega patch (at this point the game keeps asking for the DVD even If is in the drive) and I move to install Modact 5.3. then when I try to start the game I get the Modact screen, but the game never starts it simply CTD before it even reach the loading screen. Here the log.

Modact is now working, then I unzip CUP SFS maps on the rooft folder on the game. Then what? I'm a bit lost here.

[RealDarko]

Guys It seems I cannot install CUP properly. I have ModAct working, but when I unzip the first part of CUp the mapmod to Il2 root folder nothing happens, there is no new selector and If I copy the folder to JGSME folder and install nothing changes. Can someone hlep please?
