WC5 Secret Ops - Crashing

I am running into some frustrating issues with Secret Ops. I tried playing with old free version and while I was able to complete the first mission, it didn't call it finished. This was using the old OpenGL enhancements.

I switched over to a fresh install using the WC Secret Ops from GOG and I cannot complete the first mission cause as soon as I go to engage the second running moray - I get a Flag Error crash. CFlagList Even installing the newer Model Update gives me this error with the mission.

Are there any guides for how to get GoG Secret Ops installed, setup, patched, and ready to go? Is there a detailed guide or anybody who has encountered oddly specific crash errors from the SO game itself (not fan missions)?

By the way, I played through Wing Command Prophecy on GoG with the OpenGl Prophecy Upgrade patch without issue. Looked great and played fine with no crashes. Only thing missing was being unable to get the upgraded movies to play within the game. Although I didn't bother researching or troubleshooting that issue after the initial install attempt. Probably just need to add a directory reference in a file somewhere.
 
I tried it this time with the compatibility mode enabled on the secretops executable.

The message for the crash is as follows:

CFlagList::getFlagIndex - index not found for crc 4bee609f

This occurred immediately after I killed the second Moray attempting to run away. I do not know why the mission is struggling with his objective variables. It is as if the engine is failing to communicate with certain files.
 
Okay, I reinstalled Secret Ops from scratch using GOG. No upgrades and the game works fine - I hate the Panther's gun spread in the OG version.

No idea what to do now for updating/basic modding though.

Is there a set of mod instructions for Wing Commander Secret Ops. These kinds of updates should be posted in a easy to follow pinned thread.
