The 7.02 patch is an amalgamation of the 7.0 through 7.02 patches (7.01 and 7.02 were merely bug fixes). The 7.10 patch is simply a new exe file and starfire database. This will work fine if you are starting a new game.
If you have a game that is underway then you have to do the upgrade scripts progressively on the database to get to version 7.10 and there is always the possibility of odd complications.
The actual SAUpgrade executable can still be found here: http://www.dreadfest.com/satools/saupgrade.html Along with many of the older upgrade scripts. I have copies of all of the upgrade scripts from version 6 to 7.10 in my own archives. These files are pretty ancient by now and hopefully not corrupted. If you need any of them let me know and I can upload them. I also have all the files needed to install version 6 and upgrad it all the way to 7.10. In fact I am currently playing a 2-player game with a friend of mine.
