Do these games work on windows 7?

I am thinking about ordering the Naval Combat Pack.

I've had Sub Command working just fine ,with a few minor issues,on Win 7.

As for Fleet Command and 688(I),I do not have either game so I could not say.

I would import all the fleet command scenarios to DW and play DW. I want to get into Sub Command and 688i.

My rule of thumb is to make sure games are not installed in a path containing the "Program Files" folder. Modding, editing/saving missions, or even just adding them to the Scenario folder (this goes for atleast Sub Command) will cause Win7 to choke with a UAC warning. If you don't notice this because it happens in the background then it times out and the file changes will be ignored. Installing it in something like C:\Games\NavCombPack avoids this watchfull eye of Win7.

I have DW, Sub Command, and Fleet Command all working great on my Windows 7 - 64 bit machine.
