2007-07-01 10:51:18 - Operating System: Windows Vista 64 Bit (x86_64) - My rating:
X-Wing Alliance works great IF you manage to install it on Vista x64 ...
Please, be my guest and download my unofficial freeware installer from http://www.markusegger.at.
The problem is: The original XWA setup was created using very old InstallShield technology which produced 16-bit installers. Since there is no 16-bit subsystem in Vista x64, there is no possibility to get the original setup running.
The only chance was to "reverse engineer" which files/folders have to be copied off the CD and which registry entries have to be made using a Windows XP workstation. Using that knowledge and the free Microsoft WiX toolkit, a Standards-compliant, state-of-the-art MSI setup could be created.
Best Regards,
Markus
