Read this if your installer does not let you continue the installation

Hi Folks,
I’m having issues with the U2 installer, i can install 4.33 without issue but when i run the u2 installer it starts the setup exe and i get the the manage files view on screen but then it says all the update files are corrupt? any ideas?
PS i’ve downloaded the u2 update from various places and it still fails.
Ok sorted, the file from this sites download section is 1.2Gb and doesnt say 4.33 U1 base
I downloaded 4.33 from veterans gaming the file is 1.49Gb and when unzipped the folder structure is correct and named as in all the instruction files. U2 installed without a hitch… go figure. -
My readme.txt file just says Falcon 4.0. The setup command in the game shows build 50613 from 6-13-05. This is an original disk from Lead Pursuit. I am in the US and have done nothing special to run the disk.

This is an original disk from Lead Pursuit.
That will not work.
It needs to be the Original Falcon 4.0 disk from Microprose.

I thought that the only 4.0 was from Lead Pursuit. Don’t recall a separate one from Microprose.

F4 Allied Force is from Lead Pursuit, the original Falcon 4 from Microprose

There’s one big problem… I had F4.0 installed for 3 years(before updating to Win10) on my PC. I tried to update BMS 4.33, but it says this message…
I though that there was a problem with the very old F4.0 install, so I tried to re-install but as I’m on Win10 x64, it won’t start…
I have an original CD of F4.0 by Microprose and F4-AF which I bough in an “old games” racks long time ago…I was hoping I wouldn’t have to purchase it again…
Anyone has an idea on how I could save it?
Thanks…

Did you uninstall it first? Did you get rid of the registry entry for it?

I’ve looked up to uninstalled it and I realized that F-4.0 isn’t in the list, so I’ve got some questions…
Is it possible that it’s because I re-installed Win10 and didn’t re-installed F-4.0(games installed on an other drive than Windows)?
That would explain why 4.33 doesn’t recognize the pre-existing F-4.0 installation,
But that doesn’t explain why I can’t even start the installation from CD?
The auto-run starts, but the Install option doesn’t work, I tried executing directly the setup.exe without success…
My Win10 x64 is configured in Canadian French, but it’s pretty close to the US english a.f.a.i.k…I’m looking forward for a solution…

Same problem I have falcon 4.0 installed on my system but bms 433 doesn’t see the install. Bms shouldn’t need to gleam my registry to determine where my F4 is installed. Even bought a steam version but bms 433 continues to tell me I need falcon4 installed. I have falcon 4.0 installed. Apparently this new IP rights connected to bms is going to remain a block for slot of US win8 users. The shame comes down to the coders not publishing their work, getting copyrights and offer a legitimate retail release.

Yeah, pretty sure BMS does depend on registry to find F4. Shouldn’t be any issue with Windows 8 though. There must be BMS/Steam/Windows8 users without this problem.
I would recommend using Steam’s backup feature to make a copy of Falcon 4.0 (so you don’t have to download it again), uninstall Falcon 4.0, clean the registry completely of any old BMS and Falcon 4.0 entries. Then install Falcon 4.0 again completely with an administrator-enabled session of Steam.

same problem worked with 4.33. Any fix for this ?

Hi. I have installed Falco 4.0 Allied Force (EP-FALCON4) on my pc under Windows 10. When I try to install Falcon BMS_4.34_Setup it tells me there is no Falcon 4.0 on my pc and gives me some links to where I can bey it. Any ideas what to do. My Pc: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 Gb 3000 mhz ram, MSI X370 SLI PLUS, MSI GTX 980 ti, System SSD 225 Gb, 2 Gb Harddisk, 446 Gb PCI-E SSD, 2 Gb harddisk.
I tried installing Falcon 4.0 on harddisk and also on my System SSD. Both ways it didnt find a version of Falcon 4.0 on my Pc…… Thanks up front. -
Allied Force is not Falcon 4.0, thats the issue! Few bucks on steam for Falcon 4.0 (vanilla) and your good to install the greatest sim ever made!

I cant install ANY of the torrent download versions. I tried the d/l from Veterans Gaming and it works first time. But if I try to apply ANY of the torrent d/l updates it gives me the corrupt files error. What gives??
