If you have a proper 160 installation, then run "PlaneSetExeTheatreSwitchV3.exe" and select your planeset, EAW.exe version, and theater. Be aware that not all planesets, eaw.exe versions, and theaters work nicely together (in other words you just can't randomly choose whatever - I have found it is a bit of a trial and error), but play around with them. You can run south pacific air war stuff or desert air war or Spanish air war or finish or whatever. Have fun. smile

(P.S. You have to make sure you followed the full 160 installation instructions as per sticky thread or you won't have them (it requires the second pack etc, as mentioned).)

I need to check what you installed. Exactly which 7-zip files did you download and run?

A 160 installation has the utility which gives a screen something like this when you run it:

On the right there are the theatres you can choose
On the leftt there are the planesets you can choose, and in the middle there are the exes you can choose.

The "SPAW" theatres are the ones with carriers

I am sorry, but you guys are talking way above my head. I have EAW 160 Basic file that has all kinds of theaters and Moggys middle east, ect. My question is how do I incorporate them into the game where I can fly them.

You need the "PlaneSetExeTheatreSwitchV3.exe" so that you can select the theatres and planesets.
It should be in your 160 installation. You do not need to incorporate anything in order to fly them. You just select and launch EAW smile

I found the file Plane Set exe Theater Switch V2 exe. I tried to open it and got a Run time Error 76 Path not found. Maybe I need to uninstall everything EAW and start over.

I will PM you later smile

Android

There is a "sticky" in this forum named "160 Rationalisation and Installation"

In it the readers who want to install 160 are given a link to download a file named "UAW160.exe".
It is a 7-zip self-installer, and running it creates a "UAW160" folder with enough files in it to run UAW160 to test the user's system.

The second instruction is to use a link to a file named "UAW160Part2.exe" which needs to be moved into the "UAW160" folder and run there.

After doing that the UAW160 folder will look like this:
[Linked Image]
In that installation there is a "PlaneSetExeTheatreSwitchV2.exe" file, and it can be used to select the planeset and theatre.
Later patches install the V3 version, which installs the planeset files when you select one and saves you having to click a "Click to switch to the selected planeset" button.

Please compare your 160 folder with the one in the picture.

Read the "160 Rationalisation and Installation" sticky about runtime files wink

Look for Run-time error 713 Class not registered. MSSTDFMT.DLL

That is exactly how my 160 folder looks. Closer examination reveals it is not exactly the same. My folder contains about half of the items that yours does. There are about the same down to 160GRMissionsMarker May5.exe, and contain nothing from there on.

You are correct. My UAW160 file now looks exactly like yours. Now what do I do to fly, say Dunkirk Theatre?

Have you installed the runtime files so that you can use the "PlaneSetExeTheatreSwitchV2.exe" to select your theatre and planeset?

I uninstalled everything and started over. I followed the instructions on the sticky mentioned above and have installed UAW 160. I tried to run the UAW 160 and got the 7217 error. I don't see UAW Default ETO Theatre and Aircraft anywhere. Where do I find the run time files?

Sorry Mr. J I imagine my welcome is wearing rather thin.

Don’t worry about that. We have some very talented and persistent people here. If you are clear about what you have in the way of hardware/ OS and specific in what you did, they will sort you out.

The bottom half "Added to this thread....." has a link to the runtime files installer download, and the instructions for the installation.
