I have recently built a Windows XP SP3 Retro PC for the 35 or so Flight Sims I have saved the cd's for the last 20 years (but couldn't play of course).The results have been fantastic, but I have an issue with, You guessed - EAW 1998 version W95 ver. 0.0.0.1I get the dreaded Error Num: 7217, even though it installed.I've read enough to realize you all of have done some amazing things w/ EAW that i had no idea existed.With that said, can someone direct where to download a EAW patch to make the game work?? Or have a better approach?? Regards and thank you, FlightDeck
it seems to be a complete install of 1.28d, which is a very good version of EAW. I'd recommend downloading Great Shot II from Tally Ho at the EAWforum at SimHQ and combining the two (just be sure to delete the Great Shot 'main2pic' or it'll crash).

I think it would be a very fine thing for those who have older, definitely runnable versions of the game, to contact MarkEAW so that he can download such versions and save them on his Help Site. This would allow those of us who wish to use the products of Modders who used older versions of their game as the basis for their Mods to install the base version of the game, and thereafter the Mods.
I chanced installing this recently, as per the vague instructions, and it worked, giving a EAW 1.28d game. I just think, if someone who has no knowledge of EAW and tries this, they could be pleasantly surprised. They might like the game and might seek further information, hopefully arriving at Mark's cornucopia of EAW facts and data. My AVG anti-virus had no problem with the download and it's ultra-sensitive these days.

Should I use the patch over the installed version of Lauvo's mod, OR install lauvo's mod into full version of "Quick Shot II? I would appreciate any advice, and please give some further explanation concerning the deletion quoted above. Please assume I'm quite ignorant when explaining things such as this. 2ff7e9595c
