+{{http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/Star_Wars_-_X-Wing_Alliance_Coverart.png|X-Wing Alliance official cover}}
+===== 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! :)
