The scenario is big and many people can think that it is very complicated to orienteer in it. It is not so. All my playtesters managed to install and play the TSFE without any problems.
The most important rule is:

BEFORE LOADING A SAVED GAME OR STARTING SCENARIO RUN EUROPE.BAT!!!

The program manages all scenario files and set everything up. You don't need to make any backup files or special folders!

Here is excerpt from Readme.txt:

---------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL?

Create a folder named "Europe" under your "Scenario" folder. Copy following files into the new folder:

From 40July.sc1 to wterrain2.bmp (429 files – 18.4 MB).

Create a folder named "Sound" under your "Europe" folder. Copy following *.wav files supplied with this scenario into the new "Sound" folder:

From aircombt.wav to Torpedos.wav (42 files – 9.17 MB).

The game needs Civilization II MGE with installed Update 3.


HOW TO PLAY SCENARIOS?

Very important: every time before you start new scenario or load saved game you must run Europe.bat (double-click on it)!

This brings up a menu from which you should select difficulty level and then
Start new scenario (option 1) or
Load season files or reload your saved game (option 2).

If you want for example start new scenario as Soviets from June 1941 then:

1. Double-click on Europe.bat
2. Choose difficulty level (options 1, 2, or 3)
3. Choose Start new scenario (option 1)
4. Choose June 1941 (option 3)
5. Choose Soviet Union (option 3)
6. Close Europe.bat program window
7. Open Civ II MGE
8. Choose Begin scenario
9. Load Europe.scn from your ...\Scenario\Europe folder
10. Choose Soviet Union
11. Choose Marshal (recommended)
12. Choose Male (or Female if you wish)
13. If you want you can change your leader's name
14. Enjoy the scenario

If you have for example saved your game as Axis at August 1943 and want to continue the game then:

1. Double-click on Europe.bat
2. Choose difficulty level (you can change that every time when you load a saved game)
3. Choose Load season files or reload your saved game (option 2)
4. Choose Summer 1943 (option 9)
5. Choose Axis (option 1)
6. Choose flags as you have in your game (remember which nations you had)
7. Close Europe.bat program window
8. Open Civ II MGE
9. Choose Load a game
10. Load your saved game from your ...\Scenario\Europe folder
11. Continue the game

Every March and November an event text will pop up and prompt you to save the current position as EU.sav, run the Europe.bat program, change the season and reload your game. Changing the season work the same way as reloading your saved game (look above), only difference is that you must save the game as EU.sav before running Europe.bat. This is very important!

It is also possible to change difficulty level during a game:

1. save game as EU.sav,
2. run Europe.bat,
3. change difficulty level,
4. chose "load season files or reload your saved game"
5. chose right time and nation
6. load the game.

If you have Patch 3 installed then problem can be only that events or rules files are corrupted during downloading.

Download this file
http://www.hot.ee/markourm/France40.zip

and overwrite your previous files.
