I must admit thatI find it very confusing, is some other program needed apart from the installation file?
I tried to find the files at TLAM and Bill's sites but didn't see anything, so I have to take a stab in the dark.

The DOS screen is just a .bat running that installs the graphics into DW so it can be referenced in the database. If the files didn't include a replacement database then those graphics were never referenced and you have to do that yourself. You'd also have to change the stats around yourself (and create an SM-2 copy to load onto the appropriate ships).

Which brings up the next possibility. There is no way to change what weapons are part of the loadout of any playable platform. What can be done, if for those weapons themselves to be changec. So, even after the DB changes are made, the "SM-2" will still appear in the loadout. The SM-2 will just have the stats and model of the SM-1.
