Not sure I understand the issue, but the process to "install" new scenarios is very straightforward:
[ol][*]Register as a user at http://www.advancedtactics.org/[*]Download the stuff you're interested in from the Scenario Bank. Make sure the scenario you are downloading does not require a mod (like Real Mod, Boardgame mod etc). If it does, make sure you download that as well[*]Copy the file(s) you just downloaded to the right folder. Unzip first if it was a zipped archiver of course. The AT stuff should be located under (Your install path)\Advanced Tactics\bin under which you will find folders named graphics and scenarios etc.[*]Start the game. Load and play scenario.[/ol]Should work like a charm. If you run into problems, make sure any images that comes with the scenario or any master file included has been copied to the right place. That's the only thing that has caused me any challenges when getting new scenarios in place.

Widell describes it pretty well - if you have specific questions on specific senarios, just post questions here - they'll be answered.

Ideally scenarios should be zipped so that they are self-contained and so that when you unzip them to the AT/bin directory, everything is done automatically, but that isn't always the case, especaillyin if you download from the sandbox area (which is for new scenarios to go while author gets feedback and can tweak them).

If you download from the Approved box area, they should just be unzipped into the bin directory and should work fine.

The scenario or .pt2 files will should end up in either the bin directory or the Scenarios directory, so you might have to look in both places when you load the scenario.

But please - post if you have specific problem and someone will walk you through it.
