Fist, I would like to than upgrade team make this wonderful upgrade, it's even better than Squadron.

I have no problem for mega pack, however, there is error upon 4.0 installation as picture shows. (For two desktop and one laptop under win 7 and one laptop win 10)
I was able to install TFTC and play even after incomplete installation of 4.0. I also tried to copy 4.0 pack in the same hard-drive then execute, result is still the same.

Another problem "DirectDraw init" error right after game launch for all win 7 systems. It seems newer version requires DirectX 12, and win 7 only support to 11. Not sure if there is a fix for that.
