Poland Add On doesn't work

Hello,
please excuse my poor english-knowledge.
I have a problem:
The "Poland Add On" on your download site doesn't work.
When I start the first mission I get the message:
"Das Modell pol-7tp-eu konnte nicht in der Biblothek gefunden werden."
(translated: The model pol-7tp-eu couldn't be found in the library).
Since the installation of the "Poland Add On" I can't start the Editor.
It reports that some files are damaged or lost.
What means that ?
There is only a file named pol-7tp-eu.dp in the OBJECTS_DP folder.
When I call the more detailed information about the operaton
I see the programm uses the map of the pacific and not europe.
How can I fix the problem ?
Thank you all for your answers.

David. I haven't tried this particular download. There are 2 possibilities.
1) The campaign might require extra aircraft to be downloaded & installed separately. Read the install instructions carefully.
2) Installing the campaign took you over the CFS2 "100 Plane" limit. Moving a few 3rd party aircraft from CFS2\Aircraft should fix it.
Please tell me if this helps. If not. I'll investigate further. I need to know the exact page it's posted on.

I have used this campaign in the past and had none of these problems. I don't remember having to download anything extra so I doubt it's #1. Anyway, hope you get it fixed-its a great campaign.

Yes,
thank you. I have indeed exceeded the "airplane - limit",
so I reduced the planes to a number of 88.
Since then my "Mission Editor" (Einsatzplaner) works.
Unfortunally the problem isn't solved.
When I start the campaign the error-message appears again.
If I open the mission-file with the mission editor I get the same message for two further files:
"Das Modell pol-7tp-eu konnte nicht in der Biblothek gefunden werden."
"Das Modell ge-pzkfw-IIIa konnte nicht in der Biblothek gefunden werden."
"Das Modell pol-fiat-621 konnte nicht in der Biblothek gefunden werden."
All these files are object files which are in the OBJECT_DP folder.
I am sure ge-pzkfw-IIIa stands for "German Panzerkampfwagen IIIa" so it hasn't
anything to do with airplanes but with the scenery.
I had a similar problem once. The reason was a missing .bgl file which I have forgotten to copy.
Unfortunally the downloaded .zip file is completly self-extracting and so I havn't any access on the seperate files.
There are no further installation instructions.
Has someone an idea what could be the course ?
Where can I get the seperated files from the archives ?
What are the .bgl files and .dp files ?
Thank you for your answers.

OK, I'll check it out. Meanwhile, you should be able to redirect the extract path of the auto-install to a Temp folder. It's possible it hasn't been configured properly. You seem to know what you're doing so you might be able to locate the missing file(s) yourself.
PS. Ooops. That's a big file. I didn't expect that. It would take me over 1 hour to download it on my 56k connection. LOL
Try my suggestion & see if you can find the missing file(s) yourself. If not, I'll see what I can do.

Hurray !!!
I have found the error.
You have not only to include the "Poland-' 39 library" but the "Sept39Lib" too.
I dont know why this didn't happen automaticly.
Thank you all for your help.
