In the main SPWaW folder, you should see a file called Modswapper. Run it by double clicking on it. Chose the ENH file, and select Install. It will switch the vanilla files out for the ENH files. If you decide to play with vanilla, chose Uninstall instead, and it will switch them back. It makes switching files out very easy.

Yes I did download the full file, 70+ MB.

So I just drop it in the "mods" folder then.... I dont quite understand what to do here. Sorry I have never had to do this with any previous update with SPWAW and am not familiar with what should be done. [8D]

Hate being such a pest, I just play them and make scenarios for them I dont necessarly understand how the work.

Later,

Look for this file and double click it

here is a decent description of what to do...

Open up the ModSwap (you'll find it among the other SPWaW applications under the Start menu, and in the main folder). Select "File/Install..." Browse to the folder where you have the mod. If you don't see the mod immediately, change the "Files of type" to "Zip files". Now you should see it. Simply click on the mod, and hit "Open". In the screen that follows, select "OK".
This is it! You have successfully installed the mod!

OK, Got it done Thanks much for the walk through. [&o]

Guess I will go grab some of the new scenarios then [:D]

One question,
I have been workin on a scenario for the German Airborne assault of Eben Emael. Do I need to rebuild it or will what I have done under V 8.2 carry through?

That depends on whether the units appear the same when loaded under the Enhanced Mod. Many units were modified, most notably in the Fire Control rating; these numbers had been artificially inflated in previous OOB sets (including 8.2). Enhanced sees them set back to what the original programmers intended. If unchanged in your scenario, it may make the "feel" of the action seem different than if you built it using Enhanced units.

Updating isn't that hard; using the Replace Unit button in the Editor, simply reselect each unit from the Enhanced OOBs (after installing the Mod, of course). All the proper Unit Data will be recopied into the scenario Data files.
