===== Windows XP =====
This game runs on Windows XP. No problems detected. You only need apply the [[download:patch|patch]] and you're all set. 

===== Windows Vista, Windows 7 =====

==== Installer ====

The CD installer doesn't work on Vista or later Windows systems! If you don't have the installed gamefiles, e.g. from an old installation, go for [[http://markusegger.at/Software/Games/Default.aspx|Markus Egger's msi version]] of the installer! Documentation can be found there!

=== Alternative for advanced users===
Install it by hand! Copy over the installed files from an older system - if you have them - to your hard drive. Then [[regsetup|set up the registry]] by hand.


==== AMD x68_64 (64-bit) platforms====
Check out Markus' website. There also should be an installer for 64-bit Windows Vista or later.

==== Patches ====

You will need the [[download:patch|2.02 Update]] to play XWA online. Please download and install it.

==== Firewall ====
Your firewall has to allow ''XWINGALLIANCE.EXE'' located in your XWA game folder.

==== Problems ====
If you experience trouble with the graphics or other things in XWA, go to [[download]] and check for a fix there.

===== Notes =====

  * Somebody should provide an easy all-in-one installation package for the community with all patches applied. If anyone has too much time, please go for it! :)
