I have upgraded my computer and upgraded to "Wings Over Flanders Fields". However, I also appreciate "Over Flanders Fields" (OFF) and "Hat in the Ring" expansion (HIR). The game folders have been retained, but the "OFfManager" executable fails requesting a reinstallation. Having lost the CDs and any trace after a Sherlock investigation, I would like to know if the programs are available for download or purchase.

I recognize that "OFF" has been "woffed", but I do hope that obsolete does not mean "terminated with extreme prejudice".

Thank you for the reference "Mr. Elephant", but the link leads to patches which cannot be useful because they do not see an executable file for OFF. This requires a reinstallation using CDs I can no longer find. If you or anyone else has any information on the available existence of OFF and HIR, I would appreciate receiving that information.

If you have game folders intact then most likely you need some registry entries to let OFF manager know where everything is installed. And maybe some folders in user data too.

I have OFF Phase 3 installed on my other PC, I can take a look what it uses besides the game folder, just a bit later.

Thank you. I believe you may be correct. It may be a lack of information in 'Documents and Settings' that is not leading the "Office" to launch and call for a reinstallation. The folders are saved on the System7 system from the original XP setup. I believe they are complete as the folder contains "Office files and updates.

Thank you for any assistance.
