EW creates a (relatively) complete copy under the '<install path>\XCOM-Enemy-Unknown\XEW' path. (Which is why Steam now offers you the choice between playing EU and EW.) So you need to look for the XComEW.EXE under 'XEW\Binaries\Win32' to rename for TexMod. Any TexMods that are looking for art resources under the EU path will also need changing to look under '\XEW'.
I doubt you'll get a straight (or even proper) answer from this old'ish thread. Try the Modding LongWar thread in Files-Discussions instead.
However, i'll hazard a guess... this might be related to not having the correct "Hash-Tags" formula applied to any of the other (aside from US & UK) vectoring data slots as they all must be scanned (ingame by Texmod) before being switched to a custom picture and defined as such in the TPF file.
For example, i was able to replace both Honduras & Bosnia (new to LW-B14) with Columbia & Turkey respectively. The exact tags for these two are also listed below. Flags.DIF sheet (1024x1024) is another good source of reliable reference as it deploys all of the Armor-Back decos for each flags.

Don't forget most of these hash values can vary with the Patch & Game versions anyone plays with.
Note also that slot #31 ***MUST*** not be used as it represents a Firaxis_In-Code "UV drop material". #1_US is Top Left on the first row (#4_UK TopRight) and #32_Bosnia (Turkey) is Bottom Right of the last row on the Flags.DIF sheet.
I can not get this to work with Long war while using Texmod so I tried to manually make my own with the flag you provided and I worked for just the American and British first. Thinking I finally found a solution, I applied the flag to every nation and it didn't work. I know that texmod is installed correctly and so is Long war I just can't figure out where the disconnect is, any help would be nice.
Can't seem to get textmod files to load since the EW expansion. I think that the launcher used to choose between EU and EW versions of the game is somehow interfering. Followed the instructions exactly just to be sure. Have the PC Steam version.
Actually, XComEW worked for this mod only. Another flag replacement TPF that I had for EU also worked for all but the Poland flag, as that was not in EU. None of my armor of weapons TPF files work, so they must have been moved in the file structure. Guess I'll have to wait for updates. Sigh.
I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more downloads. One of the first if not the first EW mods I've seen. With toolboks dead and gone, having this really helped ease the pain. Thanks for making this, dude.
