Hi have you read this ? Arrow http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz/content-1.html#7

Make sure you have the .exe on the end. A lot of problems have come from people not putting \il2.exe or \il2fb.exe on the end of the pathway.

worth a try.. I have xp and works fine.

Have "exe'" in path.
"C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\il2fb.exe"
gives me runtime error 52, HL can't find path.

"C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL2 Sturmovik\il2.exe" is path for IL-2
which works, and HL found it with it's search. Do you have IL-2 in
the same Ubi Soft folder with FB, Could that be the problem?

I was having the exact same problem until I stopped trying to copy/paste the path information from explorer. It finally worked for me when I lower-cased some of the path.

e.g.
C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik forgotten battles\il2fb.exe

This didn't work on the first try, and it kept telling me "cannot find" (or whatever), but it did eventually let me "save". Then when I got in the lobby, I clicked on a game in progress and it launched FB. (Although, I didn't have time to test it more and that particular game was full.)

Thanks that worked, forgotten battles had to be lower case
even though it is upper in Explorer hierarchy. They can be picky. Smile

Try install FB in to a simply path like c:\fb and then try locate the game. Its maybe a bug, but for me and other thousand ppls it working fine with default path.
