I had a look. They claim that it runs in Win 7 and Win 10, and I wonder if that is true. 1.2 will give the 7217 error. Correction. Win 10 now runs 1.2

Just bought it. Now downloading. Says it's 1.28 exe.
Update: installs and runs flawlessly on Windows 7. No wrappers of any kind required on my part and even has the little film at the start. ID is '1.28' only. I've changed it to widescreen and runs and looks very well, although fps seems to be limited to 30. Fair play, it's a very solid product.

Has anyone contacted this company about their using the Code Group's work w/o permission?
Not yet. As Jel pointed out to me, all the Code Group's releases are in the public domain. It is slightly miffing however that they are making money out of this. Wow, I had to do some serious digging to even find 1.28 exe, much less the code. I have 1.28 Doshea, which I think was a transition immediately following? I could only find the 128 beta release All those 1.2 planes and scenarios at Tally Ho! will presumably work with this release. As presumably will the basic OAW 128 setup

Well, if I have to cancel the Aston Martin... I've had a fool around with OAW 128 and 128GOG, and it works okay. One of the first things I swapped in was the ModSquad 1.2 Battle of Britain. Works fine. Trying the 1.2 Malta at the moment. Had to tweak the tmod.dat back to the first version we used without the file header. Continuing. It did cross my mind that since our 128 has been "officially embraced", we could embrace it back by offering new GOG players some alternative setups for their version.

Someone there has linked my joystick help doc, but there still having problems: 1-they should have read my troubleshoot help doc under joystick and controls 2-and I believe the 1.28 version included different eaw.ini entries for the joystick/controls than later versions. That might be throwing them off. EDIT: It should have the same controller support that v1.2 has. As more controllers where not added until I think v1.28c. I could be thinking of this wrong though. So there in for a world of hurt, trying to get multi able controls to work.
