Well, I promised and here it is - the Balance of Power MSI setup! No tricks, no cheats - you'll need your own copy of BoP to see for yourself.

Please understand that this setup is quite complex; it's multidisc (previous XvT installation not required) and works with volume labels (BALANCE, XWVSTIE1). You'll be prompted for the XvT CD when necessary.

It's been quite tedious to overcome a few obstacles:


writing NiftyZip as done in the first place with XvT and bugfixing/refining it with BoP
upgrading an existing XvT installation (done by uninstalling the old version first)
dealing with the large folder of extracted BoP files and laying everying out accordingly
getting the few missing files/folders from the original XvT CD

It's astonishing how well the game seems to work under Vista x64 - without any compatibility modes (they even make it unplayable on my machine).

Have fun!

Don't you mean "playable on my machine"?

Well done! :joy:

Thanks! No, that's the funny thing about it. Last time I messed with the compatibility settings, nothing worked! XvT and BoP work best as they are - no compat mode. At least on my machine ;-)

Since I forgot to do so when they were posted, the threads for the XvT and BoP installers have been stickied.

Thanks!
