PBEM OOB error using OOB Manager

That should work fine - provided that your opponent is using the exact same pair of OOBS (or more if he has allies) as you are.

If, however, he has installed (or edited himself) modified versions of the OOBs in question at his end, then you are not in synch with him since he no longer has the same DL version OOBs you tried. OR - the OOBS you copied across from your download edition folder may well be modified?.

Ask your opponent which versions of these OOBs he has installed at his end. Check file alteration dates etc (size will be the same). Maybe get him to zip up and send you his files as well to be 100% sure both your sets are in synch.

NB - The OOB checksums are stored at the set up of the game, by player 1 I think (would need to did through the code to be 100% certain ! so you may well need to restart, with a set of OOBS guaranteed to be 100% in synch, if the OOBS he sends you are not the right ones.

AFAIK, all OOBs are not modified for either player. The game WILL load in the DL version, but not CD version. I do have the CD ver installed in a different than default directory, "C:\WinSPMBT", rather than buried in the program files default folder. The DL version on my old PC is installed in the default directory.
