How do you properly install a mod?

Hello, this will no doubt sound a bit lame, but here goes;
I downloaded the Great War Plugin, The Great War Operations Plugin, and the Grat War Maps Zip.
I let the installer install the plugins, then I unzipped the map pak into the COI map folder.
I used the Mod Swap utility on the game menu to open the two plugins.
I started the game, the Great War Screen came up along with WWI music.
I selected Play A Game on the menu - then things went wrong.
The battles and maps were all COI standard - but with 1914-1918 years.
I selected a random battle, and got an error message stating I needed the COI disk - so I put the disk in.
The error message didn't go away and after a couple of clicks of he mouse It crashed to Desktop (still showing the generic COI menu.
Clearly I did not install the mod correctly.
Is there a step by step guide to properly install a mod plugin, operations plugin, and tell you where to unzip the map-pak?
Yes, I guess I'm that lame..but help would be appreciated.
