This is now an obsolete step in the installation and update process. If you are up to version 4.09m of the game, move on to the UP 2.0 Full Install.
We will be moving from AAA's UI 1.2 over to the UP 1.8 mod pack. It needs to be installed over the official 4.09m version. If you are going from a UI install to a UP install, you need to run the UI's version switcher to 4.08m un-modded. Then trash the Files and MODS folders. This will leave a few UI files in your main folder, but for all intents and purposes, you will have a functionally un-modded 4.08m install.
Next, update to 4.09m, which you can get here. Note that this is NOT the 4.09m beta which the UI has been based on. This is different, and required to run the UP mods.
Now you can download the UP 1.8 from here. Download the 7 parts to a new folder, so that those 7 parts and only those 7 parts are in it. During downloading, note the projected file size, and confirm that each file actually is that size when done. After downloading is complete, but before installing, check for file corruptions, using the test feature in WinRAR on the part 1 exe. If any parts are found to contain corruptions, trash and re-download those parts. Do this until it doesn't give you any corruption messages at the end.
Now for installation, double click on the exe and let it extract. It will go through all the files, and then ask you to define the location for installation. If it's not on the main IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 directory with 4.09m, make it so, and install.
