Registry setup in Windows[edit]

Game installation (automatic) consists of two primary tasks:

  • The installer copies the files from the CD to the hard drive
  • It creates some crucial 'keys' or data sets in the Windows Registry

If you can't use the automatic installer (Windows 7, Vista, 64 bit) you can still setup the registry manually.

Download and Registry edit[edit]

XvT for 32-bit Windows[edit]

Download [xvt-bop32.reg]. After downloading the reg(istry) files you must edit them; (Right-click, "Edit") and correct the paths.

XvT for 64-bit Windows[edit]

Same procedure as with 32-bit, but the registry path is slightly [different] (Wow6432Node). Download [xvt-bop64.reg].

XvT example:
"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\Z_XVT__.EXE"
"Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie"
"Source Path"="d:" <- Change the F: to your CD drive letter

BoP example: <- this might not have to be editted.
"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\BalanceOfPower\\Z_XVT__.EXE"
"Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\BalanceOfPower"
"Source Path"="d:" <- Change the F: to your CD drive letter

XWA[edit]

Download [xwa.reg]. The edit procedure is similar to XvT.

XWA example:
"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XWingAlliance\\XWINGALLIANCE.EXE"
"Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XWingAlliance"
"Source Path"="d:"
"CD Path"="d:"
"Analyze Path"="d:\\INSTALL\\SysCheck.exe" "Source Dir"="d:" Change d: to your CD drive letter

The pathes listed above MUST match your installation paths. Note that backslashes have to be escaped ('\' -> '\\') in the reg file syntax.

Then [import] it into your registry. It will add both XvT and BoP paths.
