MS. error Combat Flight Simulator: invalid, too short, too long or protected player in writing.
Try to install the version of MS Combat flight simulator 1998 on a Windows 7 system.
Setup program opens and runs through until you choose an installation path. It gives the default value:
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator
It is said that it is a drive not valid, too short, too long or write protected. Then, he gives an example of what it should be. And it is exactly the same as above. What I am doing wrong?
Hello
I suggest you to change the installation location of the game and check if that helps.

Combat Flight Simulator won't save is no longer a new campaign
I tried to launch a new campaign in 3 bag after beating the HUN. I created a new American character and flew the 1st mission. Then I dutifully saved the campaign according to the instructions of the obvious. After leaving the game, I tried to continue with the new character. But NO! Quietly, the bloody game had refused to register this new character. He only would allow me to use characters that I had already beaten before Nazis! At gibts? Deutsch for "what happened?" I have already unloaded the game and reloaded it's new. Thanks for ANY help.

Combat Flight Simulator 3 will not drive install
The drive, which I bought, Combat Flight Simulator 3, cannot be read by my computer, 3 XP, Windows 8. I tried different ways to install this drive, but all without success. Microsoft Diagnostics can not read or the other. As far as I can check my computer has all the requirements for this game, but I didn't even get an error message. Various ways to install just to bring the error message, insert the disk when the disk is already in the drive. I have a funny feeling that the disc is a complete space, that I have been ripped off by the seller. If this is the case, then I'll send the disk to Microsoft (very) and ask them to investigate the seller. Comments, please.
