2. The install instructions say: "Unzip the downloaded file into your rtcw installation. Make sure that the ‘coop main’ folder from the zip file is at the same level as the ‘main’ folder from your rtcw installation." In that unzipped file are two main folders. One is called Main which has a spak4.pk3 file in it and the other is called Coop Main with different files in it. Obviously I'm not going to copy over my existing RTCW Main folder, so just what is the "Main" folder in the unzipped file for?
3. Once installed, should the Coop exe and the ded_coop exe files be inside of the RTCW folder along with WolfMP.exe and WolfSP.exe?
4. Is there specific version of RTCW SP I should be using?
5. The links to sample server configs and bat files are broken. The links for google work but what I found there looked like something more for coders.
1. Should.
2. The info seems to be for combining RTCW and RTCW COOP into same installation. I think you could try separating them. Follow these steps.
Create a new folder in good location .../your-coop/
Then Unzip rtcwcoop-1.0.1 ZIP into it.
There you have automatically folders "/your-coop/main" and "/your-coop/coopmain"
"main" is for RTCW files and "coopmain" is for COOP files.
Go to your original RTCW game "main" folder. Copy these files and paste these files to your COOP "main" folder
mp_pak0.pk3
mp_pak1.pk3
mp_pak2.pk3
mp_pak3.pk3
mp_pak4.pk3
mp_pak5.pk3
mp_pakmaps0.pk3
mp_pakmaps1.pk3
mp_pakmaps2.pk3
mp_pakmaps3.pk3

Done. Your config is best read from C://Documents and settings/User/documents/RtcwCOOP/coopmain/ . With XP it is probably different path, but go to your personal files folder. This is the folder that game uses to store your configs and stuff.
3. It can be played from RTCW game folder. Then these files are in same folder. However I feel it being more simple to keep COOP separate standalone and following steps on 2nd. So both ways should work.
4. Newest. Was it 1.41.
5. Which links you mean?
Btw here is a new link to the server tutorial. Our wiki has recently been moved so it is still a bit mess.

PS. If you are trying it with 64 bit windows version, try changing it to 32 bit. Once I had to change to 32 bit even thought my system was 64 bit for the game to work.
