JudasIscariot: If it's not too much trouble to ask could NOT use the downloader and see if you get the same errors again? We are working out the Downloader issues and the downloader *might* (and I use this term loosely) be part of the problem.
Also, please make sure to unistall IL-2 Sturmovik and reinstall it after redownloading via browser.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks :D
Success!!!!!! I re-downloaded everything, the whole game and the patch using the browser next, I turned off user account control rebooted and then turned off my Mcafee real time scanning. I then started the main program to check that it started ok, closed it and ran the patch as administrator. I suspect it may have just been, as you suggested, the GOG downloader and the UAC and real time virus scanning were not the culprits however, it might have been the UAC, I have another flight simulator program and having UAC turned on prevents flight plans from being saved even though the sim tells you they have been saved.Also, please make sure to unistall IL-2 Sturmovik and reinstall it after redownloading via browser.
