Just received my MCLV CD. The options are Install 7.0 and install Lost Victories. I already have 6.+ on my machine and MCNA. Does "Install 7.0" upgrade my 6.+ or does it totally replace it as if doing a "fresh install". Bascically, what happens to any added scenarios and various "fixes\mods" I already have? TIA.

I just did it and it upgraded everything, including the sound files.

To clarify a little further it will overwrite all existing files of SPWAW that are part of a core installation of SPWAW ver 7.0 any changes made to these files and OOB's to suite personal preferences will be lost with the installation of ver 7.0 The game doesn't decypher between an existing version and none at all, which is why it installs everything. Back up those personally changed files and then insert them after the installation.

Hi Guys Here is something else to note. If you have the Desert Fox mega campaign install that first. Then install version 7.0 and any other mega campaigns. Then last install any personal changes you want.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know.
