Issue with Fleet Command NWP

I wanted to post this question over at the NWP forum, but the admins don't seem to check to see if there are new sign ups for their forums there (They have to activate accounts themselves) so I can't post there and I've been waiting for quite a while. So I decided to post my question here in case someone here has a clue as to what's going on. I can't seem to find an answer in their forums.

My question. I have Fleet Command from the Naval Combat Pack. It runs beautifully. When I install the NWP into it (Following the instuctions on the site), the game will not find any of the platforms for the scenarios and crash. I tried manually running the NWP file in the Graphics folder to unpack all the graphics and that worked.

I also manually installed the updated scenario pack for the NWP. This made no difference either.

I keep getting the error messages "Unknown Entity *name of platform*" or "Skipping unrecognized Entity type: *name of platform*" This goes for all platforms.
The game then locks up as it's unable to load any of the platforms.

It does this on both my laptop and my desktop, both with the latest video/sound drivers (different cards) so I don't think that it's a driver issue. I think it's some kind of installation problem with their database.

Could this have something to do with the fact that I'm using the version from the Naval Combat Pack ?

*EDIT*
Problem solved. The scenarios for some reason weren't installing right. I deleted and reinstalled all the scenarios from scratch and now it works fine.
