Task Force 1942 in Windows 7

I have the CD version, and it installed and worked just fine, so maybe look for one on eBay or some other place.

I've downloaded a version from some abandonware site and was able to install it, so hopefully this also works for you guys with the floppy drives.

First, I copied all the files to a folder on my hard drive (they include the mpscopy.exe, install.exe and and tf1942.001 - tf1942.005).

I mounted this folder as my C drive.
Then I mounted the very same folder as my A drive.

I went back to my virtucal C drive, started the install.exe, and selected A as my floppy drive, and the installation went through.

Hope this works for you and doesn't sound too complicated.
