Trying this out, especially the no tie issue in a Third party Battle, couldnt get the game to auto save.
Have I got the wrong serial number of something Marshall?

Hmmmm?
if you had the wrong SN then it shouldn't run???
It is saving somewhere or you would get an error???
Can you scan for the game .SAV files?

I saw this too. It seems that if you install 1.08 in a separate folder (as per recommendation), the installation doesn't create a save folder, so there's nowhere for the autosaves (or any other saves) to go. However, if you just manually create one, it seems to work.

Aha! So the installer is not creating the folder! OK!
This should not happen in production.

Try this Garr and let me know...

Marshall it put the Saved folder in the "Documents and Setting folder" after a search

Well, it seems that the upgrades are counting on the dir structure to be there already from the production original install so the folders are not being created! ARRRRG!

Yes it seems so, as these folders are not being created

What I found is the best thing to do is to copy your existing 1.07 install and install 1.08 over the top of that copy, rather than installing 1.08 in a new directory.
