Secret Missions 2 in Kilrathi Saga?

A long time ago, when WC: Kilrathi Saga was available on store shelves and cost less than $100, I got one. A few weeks ago, I read about the Secret Missions expansion packs, but I didn't remember anything about them in WCKS. So, I scoured the contents of the CDs and whatever documentation I hadn't misplaced or thrown out, but I found nothing about them. Then, I found a file on the internet called "tranfer.exe," which could transfer WC1 savegames to SM1 and SM2 savegames. I tried it, and to my amazement, I was able to play SM1 with all the medals I had won in WC1. Obviously, the level data for SM1 and SM2 is included. So I finished SM1, and transfered my savegame to SM2. Here's where the trouble starts:

I finished Firekka A1 easily, but the Dralthi were just called Dralthi, not Dralthi MK2 like I read they would be. I'm not sure if they even changed. But the "Drakhai" are renamed properly. So then I beat Firekka A2, but lost Iceman. Anyway, after the meeting with the Colonel, the music keeps playing, but otherwise the game appears to have locked up. The image of the Colonel is frozen, and the game does not respond to any inputs. I tried again, this time Iceman survives. But it locks up again in the same place, time, and manner. I try again, and this time I eject immediately. So once again, I get a meeting with the Colonel, and I'm promised a Golden Sun. Then after the meeting but before the award ceremony, it locks up.

Does anyone know how I can get SM2 to work in the Kilrathi Saga version of Wing Commander 1? Or if I'm doing anything wrong and what?
 
You need to download the Kilrathi Saga SM1 and 2 from the Internet, they were not implemented in the KS. - Already quite interesting that they put some parts of it on the CD. :confused:
You can get the Install-Files here: https://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml#wcks
Btw, the name Dralthi is normal, as far as I know. But you should notice the difference cause of the Mass-Driver Canon. ;)
And lucky you, I had to use the savegame editor to transfer my pilot from sm1 to sm2 - the transfertool just didn't work. It always wanted to transfer Wc1 to sm1, although i used the other transfer exe. :( But maybe that was cause I played SM1 in my DOS version and SM2 in the KS one.

Set all KS programs (Including the Transfer) to WIN95 compatability mode and they will work fine.

I guess that was meant for me :) - Well, I already tried that, but still no go. It just does the same thing the other transfer-file does. :( My guess is, that it's just cause I wanted to transfer them from my DOS Version.
