Registry setup in Windows

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.

File Download

XvT for 32-bit Windows

Download [xvt-bop32.reg] and edit it. Make sure the paths to your game are correct.

XvT for 64-bit Windows

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

XWA

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

Edit procedures

After downloading the reg(istry) files, edit them first (Right-click, "Edit") and correct the paths:

XvT example:

"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\Z_xvt__.exe"
"Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie"
"Source Path"="d:"

BoP example:

"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\BalanceOfPower\\Z_xvt__.exe"
"Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XwingTie\\BalanceOfPower"
"Source Path"="d:"

XWA example:

"Executable"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XWingAlliance\\XWINGALLIANCE.EXE" "Install Path"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XWingAlliance"
"Source Path"="d:"
"CD Path"="d:"
"Source Dir"="c:\\Program Files\\LucasArts\\XWingAlliance"

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.
