If you go one directory up from there you end up in the main install folder.In there you will find a folder for each of the games, and a few more for the TFD launcher, patches and internet files.Unofficial 1.03 PatchThis patch contains most of the fixes listed in this thread, get it here: or alternatively here: -comm.com/community/index....a=view;down=16Note: This patch includes files which cause problems with Internet play in TS, RA2 & YR, please check those sections after installing for the solutions to these problems.Nyerguds' guide to installing & patching TFD: -design.com/...lling_tfd.html(note that this is mostly just the manual way of applying all fixes that are in patch 1.03)General fixes:Games won't run in Vista/7: Vista/7 users should take ownership of the TFD main folder.
