Is there a way to play x wing alliance on windows 7?

I've got XWA up and runnin' on Windows 7 w/o issue. I don't remember doin' anything in particular to get it runnin', but here's a link to an active XWA community if you still need help.

X-Wing Alliance Upgrade

There are some badass mods that let you play the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter under XWA.

Wait I can play the original xwing under XWA?

I was trying to get XWA to work under win 7 the other week and I broke my cd

Yes you can. xwaupgrade.com forums have everything you need (plus the site has all the graphical upgrades you need too... there are a TON). I'm a bit of a modding junkie actually. This mod though, this one is really awesome if you want to get your X-Wing or Tie Fighter fix in. How can you beat playing the originals in the best engine there is (Alliance). Heck, you can even turn on Track IR support (sort of).

I'm going to hazard the guess that you did it wrong then!



The Jedi Master

Yup!

I had it installed and trying to get the Win7 part going. Put the cd down somewhere and crunch!

It's a shame because I will never buy the cd again. Oh well :p

I cant get it to install? Any ideas

RockEye,

If you're trying to install on a Win7 machine, make sure you're running the setup file as administrator. After that, it's hard to help without some idea of what's going wrong. Where in the install process is it breaking? What is the reported error?

Ok, when I install I try and install I get this message:

The program or feature"\??\e:\Install\setup.exe" cannot start or rund due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact teh software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.

I have tried changing the compatibility to xp service pac 1 still no joy....
