Installing RTCW [solved]

Can anyone help me with regard to installing the data files for RTCW (I'm using AOS4.1 on an X1000).
I have downloaded all the files from Huno's site and bought the PC CDROM to extract the .pk3 files, all of which I have installed into the 'main' drawer as per the instructions - but when I try to run the game, I get an error saying the installation is incomplete, listing the required files. I notice that I am missing one of them (called sp_pak3.pk3) which isn't included on the CD ROM (although sp_pak1.pk3 and sp_pak2.pk3 are).
Is this missing .pk3 file the reason the game doesn't run and, if so, does anyone know where I can find the file?
Thanks,
Steve

Sadly, I have installed the game onto a Win10 PC which will not let me run the patch (I get an error saying there was a problem running WolfSP.exe and Windows closes the programme down) ... is there any other way I can get the required .pk3 files?

[Replying to self}: I can run the WolfMP.exe programme without problem. I get the error only when trying to run WolfSP.exe, which I guess is the one I need?

[Replying to self again]: Although WIn10 complained about the installation of the patch, when I checked in the directory, the files had been correctly created, so I was able to copy them over to my Amiga and start to enjoy this great port!
